Summer Daydreams

A bit overexposed, espcially the yellow (far right) bear. The lighting and focus on the girl are quite good. If you cropped it so she was all you saw (might have had to reshoot without the yellow bear) it would have been a really nice shot. This is definitely a case where closing in on the subject would have improved the shot tremendously.

I can't figure out what this is....

Favorite Fishing Hole

This photo is an "almost but not quite" picture. I like the idea just fine, but I think it would have been stunning if the boy was angled a bit differently (the pole too) and a full black sillhouette. As it is the lighting isn't quite light enough or dark enough.

Interesting commentary on the wildfires we see in the West. A different side of summer that not everyone sees.

Summertime...And the flowers are dyin'

I can't really say that this doesn't meet the challenge but it just doesn't grab me. It's a perfectly acceptable photo but it lacks a wow factor or a common thread for me to grasp as the viewer. Perhaps if the flowers were more interesting...maybe its that they are so green which seems antithetical to death?

A day on the beach

Definitely hit the challenge but the shot lacks a focal point. I'd like something to latch on to. A colorful umbrella or an intersting person. Or something. Kind of feels like a lot of background but no subject.

I can feel the heat. Nice work. I really like the placement of the horizon I feel like I'm standing at the fence myself.

Take Time to Follow the Path

I don't care for your title it doesn't help me relate the shot to a season. Not a bad shot though. It feels like summer to me. In my mind the boy on his trike correlates to a farmer on a 4-wheeler, driving out to check irrigation or mend a fence or something.

I love this shot. Title, everything about it works for me. This is the kind of shot I want to take some day. I'm guessing this is done with a DSLR.
