This would have been a GREAT image had you
(a) not lost the toes of the girl in the iddle
(b) processed it in B&W
(c) gotten a little lower to take the shot.
This scene had enormous potential, and you've shown that you have the eye for great situation portraits, or street photography, but there just a few elements that will hurt this image with the general voting public... I do expect you'll probably get some better marks from some quarters of the DPC community though.
So... what am I going to give it... initially, I was thinking a 5 or 6... but looking at it from a different perspective, had you done all those things above, I reckon I'd be giving it a 10, so, I'm thinking somewhere between... so, you're getting an 8 from me.

This would be a great album cover, and superbly linked to a great album.

This is simply stunning for it's minimalism and would work PERFECTLY as an album cover... brilliant job with this. I'm bumping this up to a 9.

By far the best utilisation of the expert editing in the challenge, and a great photo too... this is my tip for the blue ribbon, and the 10 I'm about to give will probably help. :)

Wonderful photo, along with the many others, of the day. You're vision has always amazed me Deb. It was so great to meet you in person, and to share the experience of Disney California Adventure with you... and to have some of YOUR photos capture the experiences and memories is absolutely wonderful. Once again, thank you for making the effort to come out the Anaheim to meet us, thank you for sharing the day with us, in person and in photos.

ETA: As I mentioned earlier, if/when we make it back to LA area in the next two years, I hope we can get together again, perhaps for a bike ride...

Okay... this one has ribbon written all over it. This is a stand-out contender with the voters. And rightly so. It's beautiful... stunning... and superbly processed.
