 Fairly last minute entry in this challenge that has but 18 entries one day before rollover. Very literal interpretation. I hope some other people will be more creative :) Long time since I did a basic editing entry. I find them frustrating, but you do learn from constraints. This time I had to be rather creative to get the B+W conversion the way I wanted, using layers of selective color shift.
I like the shot, not sure if it won't look too ordinary for DPC. We'll see...

cute pic but for the challenge I am not so sure it makes as much sense

Like the photo and the black and white composure. His right foot being cropped drew my attention though.

The black and white really works with this photo. I love the textures you've captured.

Cute! B&W is a nice touch here. Like the texture of the tree.

Little more effort going into it might have made this a perfect picture. I like the B-W effect here.

Cute shot. the black and white processing works well as I think all the greens of the background would probably have been way too busy.

Good angle and helped by B&W

If he's pushing it over, which is what this looks like, then it isn't immovable. Good technically but the message doesn't fit the challenge.

I really like the contrast achieved with the b&w, striking the old rough bark with the youth. Pity about the shoe being cropped out but thats personal choice I guess.

Hehe this is cute, nice contrast and shadows. Would've been nice in colour also.

The wide angle makes the child look larger than he actually is. I wonder what it would have looked like if you'd made him appear smaller, and contrast the huge immovable tree with his small frame. Might have conveyed the sense of being immovable a bit more persuasively.

Nice shot and well put together, I would like to see it with faded colors

Cute child but not a lot of effort into that little push! :-)

would have been a better picture if the tree had been uprooted a bit, or a bit more...i can't tell if it is now, but otherwise an amazing picture.

I love the angle of the picture. Most people are too lazy to get down and find the appropriate angle for a shot like this

I like the chubbiness of the kid's face. That texture contrasts nicely with the tree's edginess.

Cute. Great technical shot. Nice angle.. good contrast. Just lacks the effort one would show when moving the immovable:-)
