Quick, somebody tip that janitor! Them's some seriously nice floors!

Great pic too btw. I 10ve the idea of the vertical lines of the school contrasting with the horizontal lines of the child who appears to be not getting along or running against the grain.

If you look really closely, you will notice that there is a subtle rhythm of horizontal lines along the top which have a 'leading' effect suggesting unrealized motion in that direction, presumably an exit.

Very interesting pic.

Kitty not happy. A great candidate for the lolcatz website when the challenge is over.

I find the contrast/saturation a bit low and the mid-highlights a bit disappointing.

Put this at 9, but dropped it back a bit as I find the sharpening to be a bit overdone, especially in the chest which detracts from the eye.

Very nice job at managing details in the shadows. *VERY*

I like this. I like the way the boys really stand out strong with the overdone white shirts. I like the softness and I like the noise/low contrast through the rest of the pic. I also like the border.

Very slightly oversharpened for my taste. Especially noticeable in the OOF areas which could easily have been hit with a touch of gaussian blur.

Generally quite appealing though.

I like how you tried to use the texture in the border to complement the noise/texture in the pic. Interesting.

The bird/moon grabs the eye too.

The scene is interesting (durex and kids), but it's missing something I can't quite define.

Good though.

A great sense of depth in this capture. Excellent detail too.

Very nice in many ways. Would have been a bit better had you dropped onto one knee. That would have pulled the boats a bit further away from the middle and prevented the interference with the line of boats.
