What a great shot! Would like to have seen it much higher. Great leading lines and dof, and the mood of it is just perfect, going straight for my favorites. Absolutely super.

This is a very original concept. I like the idea and realization very much, you made it to my favorites. (9)

It's funny, I just commented on a shot where having a person depicted from the knees down was distracting. In this shot it works. I think it's because the leading lines all converge on that part of your subject that you can see...

Very good choice of perspective... magical

I like the idea behind this shot but the shallow depth of field is a serious detraction

Great title and good choice on the narrow depth of fiield. Unique point of view too. ((8))

Like the perspective here. Would perhaops like a little more of the foreground tracks to be in focus - otherwise dof is good. I think allowing us to see the dirt on the soles of the feet bygetting her to stand on tip-toes adds a lot to the composition here. Good work.

Scrolling down, when the top of the pic was cut off and the points were dead centre this shot really took off for me....stunning difference...would have made it one of the most interesting compositions I've seen this challenge

This photo is so sweet and easy to look at. Lots of complexity to it, yet a very simplistic shot...very nice! 10!

but which way to turn ?? great idea and well-captured legs and feet

This is the best example of use of depth of field that I've seen. Of course, it has outstanding compositional and conceptual qualities as well. And doesn't look like it's been processed at all, which I also like very much. 9.

I like the simplicity and symmetry of this image. DOF is nicely done as well.

Really super idea and work. You might consider cropping just a bit off the bottom. Nice clarity here. 8

I like this one... Very simple but really cool. The feet on the tracks thats something you don't usually do not even with shoes. With bare naked foot must even be more unusual. great image i like the DOF.

This photo certainly brings back memories of my childhood. I can remember days of doing just this. There is a bit of Americana in this photograph and that always sits well with me. You have 'connected' with me via this photograph. This photo also has a lot of 'levels' of possible understanding... great work :)

I like this one...very original, technically very good too.
