| This is just a great use of a super wide angle lens. I hope I can do as well with my new 10-22mm lens. So far, I haven't! Good luck in the challenge--this is one of my top pics. |

| you should know that bulldozers are supposed to be yellow. Ask the late Douglas Adams (If you can get hold of him). |

| Excellent shot. Love how you placed yourself low to the ground to get this. Adds a lot to the overall feel. One of the best photos of children in this challenge |

| Not an average 'kiddie pic' at all. Good classic vibe from this with a good candid vibe - a feeling that he truly doesn't know or care about your presence. Love the use of mono, and while centering doesn't normally go down well this somehow looks good for it. |

Very good composition and a great choice for B&W.
Excellent contrast & tone. Some parent (you?) should be proud to hang this one. ((8)) |

| I'd add it to my favourites but it's already there. One thing I do notice (that may not have been in your other versions) is a light banding in the upper left. Looks like a burning artifact, and it's distracting. Have you considered a square crop? It has a medium format feel to it and it might suit it well. One of my few 10s. Good luck. |

| Great picture. It reminds me of those vintage greeting cards and prints that I love so much.. Love the black and white too. |

| An excellent picture, I wonder if cropping a little more of the sky would improve it? |

| A lovely portrait, good concentrated expression, total absorbed by his own activities and forgetting the surroundings. Good to have those people in the background and good use of depth of field. Nice wide angle surroundings as well. With the view to the left as it is I would try to crop a bit of the right of the image (and probably also the top) to bring him a bit more to the middle/right in the image. |

| First, neener neener to those who said kiddie shots won't place. Second, what a GREAT shot of a busy construction worker at the beach! My guess? A top 5% placement in the contest! |

Hi Matt
No problem in my providing feedback, this is one of the nicer children pics entered into this challenge IMHO. I gave it a 7 though I mentally put it at about 7.5!
I like the composition well, though I think you could do with a touch more image at the left and a touch left at the right. He feels too far to the left to me. I love the very low viewpoint; it really takes us into his world. The total concentration is a feeling we have all experienced and the freedom to be so absorbed in leisure, in the way that young children often are, is something we all still hanker after. That's what makes this a universal image for me rather than a boring shot of someone's kid. I like your choice to present the image in toned black and white ; it adds a timeless quality. I also like the out of focus crowd far behind, the pretty clouds in the sky and the lovely texture of the sand in the foreground. Altogether a lovely image and grows on me the more I view it.

| My favorite "kid" shot of the challenge. I love the wide angle and the DOF in this shot. The child is so intent on what he is doing he probably didn't even know his picture was being taken. Very nicely done. 10 |

| Great use of wide angle, and very brave of you to let your equipment so near this much sand! Makes me think of Martin Parr. 10 |

| Beautiful texture in this B&W. You have captured the ability of a young child to focus on the simple things in life. Very well done 8. |

| Great perspective, I like it how the background tells about the area he is playing in. Good how the sky gives space. Like the toning. |

| Simply stunning. Such a great portrait. I had any criticism at all, but I don't. I love the composition, the depth of field. Everything works perfectly together. 10. |

| Well this is a lesson to everyone who takes photographs of children. Simply terrific. DOF is perfect, you have isolated him tremendously well. One of the best images I have seen so far, this is the kind of stuff that could make you a very nice living as an upscale portrait photographer. 10. |
