 Just my son hanging out on a swing. This challenge was tough - this isn't necessarily my best attempt at Framing, but I really like this photo of my son.

Wow, didn't expect it to finish so low, but that's okay. I guess the sun flaring is a big no-no with photographers. I find it rather appealing myself, as do a minority of the voters who gave me a 6 and above. I think it definitely makes a better personal picture than a technically sound picture. Lessons to learn!

Nice. There is a gray cast that could have easily been lessed by adjusting levels or contrast. But I love the expression that you've caught that only one can get from a child.

Slightly overexposed and the lens flare hurts the photo. Good idea, could've been executed better.

The lens flare, due to internal reflexions give you this fog view. But I like the picture.

Shot is great but the image seems a little flat. I believe some levels adjustment could help bring some spark to the pic.

from experience, shooting into sunlight usually causes more dstraction than the effect you might have been looking for. The flare here washes out the child's face a little *too* much. I wonder if it might have been a better shot to do from a slightly better angle to avoid the flare. Great idea, however.
