Walkin' along with my little guy and he's gotta check out the display windows of a toy store (of course). Had to quickly pull out my camera to get a few shots 'cause suddenly I thought, "Hey, this would be perfect for the Leading Lines challenge!"

Thanks to Julien, again, for, unwittingly, being the subject of my photo.

PP: Levels to brighten things up a bit, Curves for a bit of contrast, Blur to deal with distracting reflections in the windows, Clone to get rid of a few little spots, Neat Image (my first try with it!) to deal with noise - hallelujah, what a great feature, and then USM.

I really like the simplicity and statement made here.
Wall & boys' shirt matching was a nice touch.
Nicely done!

I love the lines..the colours..red leading to red..just wonderful..this shot makes me feel like I am just taking in a moment, and staying far enough away so as not to interfere...nice emotive.

Very effective! One of my favorites. I wish the boy was more in focus though - looking at the window, it would appear that the focal point is about half-way down the window.

The red is a dominant line and it leads you to the boy at the window. Well done. 7

excellent lines...especially working them from right to left, which is the first shot i've seen in this challenge where it doesn't feel awkward to me.

Bright and simple with lines leading strongly to the subject. There's almost the sense of a story being told. Excellent.

Excellent! I love the red, and the leading lines. It reminds me of when I was younger.

it's a beatiful capture of the moment, even if it's set up.

This is great! Lines lead to the subject and a bit beyond. The subject is large enough to see but not over-powering... Good DOF. Good luck!

too much red for me and i'd prefer a tighter crop on the right side..
leading lines are well executed

I love the bright red in this photo. It really makes it stand out. The angle that the photo was shot from really enhances it and makes it very interesting.

Very cute subject, and I really like the redness of it all. Well done.
