Lives Turned Upside Down (April Tornado Victims)
by OverflowStudios

Comment:
Giving this my highest vote because I'm tired of looking at water reflections. At least it's a clever relation to the challenge description even though the the aftermath sucks.

Personally I don't like the post processing on the photo, the sky doesn't like right amongst other things, almost like a bad HDR. Regardless, ideas win in my books.

Would be interested to know if this is an actual photo of a tornado site.

I think my camera is too big!

Nearing the top end of my voting.
If somehow, don't ask me how, you could have made it so the lego dudette represented mom, insta +2 from me. I'm sure her kids notice she's into photography by now, so knowing there's a group of people doing this for mom would bring a huge smile, at least I hope.

[EDIT]
Came back, bumping this one up to an 8.

Sure. Don't really get what all goats are doing there but, hey, why not. Maybe they're on their way to candy mountain.

Just a picture of an armored vehicle. Giving slightly above average for me because most kids love this kind of stuff.

Now if they were fighting, with light sabers, then it'd be a cool photo.

Not really sure about the heavy handed editing with this one. It's a little whimsical, so I'll give slightly above average.

Definitely not my kind of photo, but given the context, I'm trying to hit the vote button higher. I'm thinking guns, sports, cars, tractors when I think of boys, not Zorro'esque mice riding cats.

I may have to revisit this one after the I'm done voting. If I do it'll be a +/- 1, have to see what I think of the others.

I like the photo, but the colours are a little flat. Kids don't want subtlety, they want explosions.

Really wish there were a couple things different with this one.
Brighter, most contrast, not three Captain America's, Suvivor Series style battle royale, ....
