ART is Hard Work,...to Be Quite BLUNT!

The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems as the image appears to be over sharpened. The DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge.

Great subject. Would have worked better with a close crop or get rid if the cars and adults in the background.

An excellant image of the unbridled job of being a child. Soccer at this age level could fairly be called "everybody chase the ball" and this image demonstrates that perfectly. And excellant capture that captures the nature of youth fitness and the free spirited job of just having fun. A top ten image and most certainly a ribbon winner.

I can see this on a parks and recreation website or brochure. Fits the challenge well...

They all have such chubby little cheeks, they're so adorable. The people in the background are distracting, try a shallower depth of field to blur them out. Also, in stock photography it's my understanding that you would need release forms for allll of them from their parents, what a pain that would be ;) I think it's too much of a snapshot to do well in a stock photography challenge, but it sure is cute.

I am not voting on this image but if I did I would more than likely give it a 4 or lower.

Let me explain, I "personally" don't think you met the challenge's request to take an image of a "stock" photo of fitness. Your photo isn't bad or physically hard to do but I just don't think it's a "stock" or "fitness" style image.
