Composition is wonderful-this is a great shot, hindered by the border. I like that it is a bit dark, there is a soft dreamy quality. Should have finished much higher-I am sure the size and border are what held you back.

Nice composition, cropping, framing, and use of contrasting colors......

Wow... This is the first shot that I've seen this challenge that made me stop and look closer. Very simple. Very emotive. Makes you think about when you were little. I like it! Not one that cares for fancy borders, but your image is strong enough that the border doesn't make me wanna knock off a point.

Edited to add: Wish it were bigger, but your crop is spot on!

Distracting border takes away from an otherwise excellent image.

A good capture which helps the viewer dislocate from current affairs and enjoy a long forgotten time where innocence and simplicity was the rule of the day. The posture and the hands in the water illicit a dreamy and almist surreal feeling. The subdued colors add to this ethereal feeling.

I love the photo, but I htink that the excessive bordering detracts

Nice technique of not showing her face. Very mystic looking. I like it. The border is overdone and detracts from the overall image.

i don't think the frame adds to this otherwise good shot.
The composure of the shot is excelent. It looks spot on for focus. I think i would have tried to bring the colour out a little more.
Well done on a nice shot.
Good luck

v. nice love the framing. has a calm, relaxing feel to it. one of my top scores.

Apart from the clarity, and the subject and texture, the colour was what sealed a 10 from me for this. Great effort.

Love the shot, but I don't care much for this border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Don't quite understand why I find this photo so extraordinary; but I do. The colors are muted, almost boring. The lighting is muted, almost boring. The subject is diminutive, almost too small. Yet taken together it is wonderful. WOW!

Excellent shot, well composed and framed!

interesting image, but seems to be a little dark. can't say that i'm too keen on the triple border--it really does take away from the composition. without the border, i'd feel free to enjoy the image and let my mind wander through it. as is, it feels very boxed in, limiting the scope of the image. good luck!

What an awesome picture!

Gorgeous, I wish I could see it without the tacky border that completely ruins the mood and keeps taking the eye away from the photo. It's that bad that I have to take off 2 points for not being able to appreciate the photo.

Very lovely picture which really sets a mood. The border is a bit over the top.

Absolutely wonderful!!! Composition and the contrast of the straight line in the bricks merging into the circles of the ripples is really great. I love when pictures impact me this strongly from the moment I see them...thanks for sharing
