At first, I thought that I would like this better if it was cropped tighter, but after trying it, I realized that I like the expanse of the field - it seems to give more "weight" to the subjects. I really like this shot, and think it fits the challenge well. lhall-8

Love the photo, but Rolling Thunder is on Memorial Day. I am assuming your title is simply descriptive, not actual. lhall

Nice shot - I like the composition and lighting, but I think that sweating and cursing are missing from the shot - that's what all the guys I know do when they are wrenching! lhall-8

I like the composition of this photo. It may just be the "lighting" but the photo looks like it was desaturated, which I think works great for the shot. lhall-8

Selling Lollipops To Survive

This shot just makes me want to cry. It is such an emotional photo. Definitely "candid", it conveys sadness and quiet desperation. The sepia is perfect, and I think the composition is wonderful. I hope this places high. lhall-10

Private Thoughts

Comment:
Very interesting shot, and perspective. At first glance, I thought this more representative of "teenage hood" than "childhood", but have since changed my mind. The composition and lighting are terrific, and the red of the silk cord on the keys is perfect for the photo. This is one of those photos that, the more I come back to it, the more I like it. Very nice work. lhall

Good lighting and DOF. The only thing that I don't like about the composition is the table at the upper and lower right hand corners. I find that to be just a little distracting. lhall

A beautiful photo. Certainly makes me think of all those days when our parents called us in, but we just didn't want the day to be over ! lhall

It's interesting that this doesn't say "childhood" to ME at all, but it certainly does to my husband ! Wonderful shot - love the b&w. lhall (9)
