I don't know how this will stack up against the rest of the images in this challenge but this was an easy pick for me. I didn't have to debate it much at all, this image is my favorite of the whole year and no matter what score it gets I will love it forever.

Look ahead, as far as the eye can see.
The world stands before you & me
Tall mountains to scale,
deep waters to sail,
open fields to explore
and blue skies in which to soar.
Life is an adventure
alone you will not venture.
Together we go, hand in hand,
my sister, my friend.

Love the feel and mood of this photo. The two young girls stand before the world. The land is both beauty and obstacles to overcome in life's journeys. It is a wide world of filled with joy at discovery and challenges with tough boundaries to cross. But each is not alone - these two girls, these sisters have each other to share the journey with.

This is interesting. At first I missed the girls then I my eyes shifted and I saw them. To me this is simple but complex picture. I like it. The colors are not over done. Thank you!! 10

Without knowing why they awoke, the sisters stepped out of their tent, and were drawn towards the shore of a pristine lake, framed by majestic rugged mountains. Breathing the fresh, crisp air, they knew this was the place they would call home for the rest of their lives.
Somehow this captures innocence, and encourages wide-eyed exploration...

Beautiful image! I would have cropped out just a little bit more of the sky to make the girls more of the subject of the picture.

Stunning, keep returning to this. I hope you have a large print hanging in your home?

Great sky. Well composed scene. Superb control of exposure. I love where you've placed the children in the scene. It's very harmonious. My only suggestion would be to move the horizon line up or down... but off of the vertical middle. 9

Guessing it is sjhuls. Good processing and it should do really well.
In an effort to help all the shots I comment on in this challenge I would only say it feels a little heavy on the left, The clouds, mountains and girls are all weighted on the left hand side. This pic is great but would be over the top if the girls were on the right of the shot to balance it a bit more.
