too funny - today's version of "going outside and playing with friends" I like the symatry and the candid nature of the shot. I think introducing more color would help the subjects stand out from their background

I'm very surprised this did not get a ribbon or place within the top 10 at least. I gave it a 10. It's funny how people see things so differently. When I look at this picture, I can feel the smooth polished wood, the sharp metal of the cross, the varying textures of the beads, and the tactile feel of the purse. I can even feel the smooth cold glass of the store window in front of the mannequin which is evident due to the reflections. I love the color and composition too. This is still one of my favorites in this challenge. I think you did an excellent job.

Good subject; generall well captured, however, a polarizer might have gotten rid of the reflections and then you could have captured the nice wood texture (or you might have gone in the store).

Nice contrast of the blue world and the warm colour of the wooden figure - like imagination and reality in a drear world. great sense of the smooth polishedness of the figure too, and the highlighting of it works well. Do like this very much.

nice job of capturing textures and still making an interesting picture. I like the layers of visual stimulation

3S - Sand, Sea and Sky

Comment by JEM:
Earth, water, air - fits the challenge like a glove. Will not score well because there is not much of interest to attract the eye. A seagull, dog, human would help. And most people expect blue water and blue sky.

I think there is too much reflection on the window that distracts my eye

The glass reflection seems to add to this photo.. vivid colours, and sharp details. Very nice.
