I just took this photo in Cambodia were i found this girl playing in a coal dump, but in paticular she is holding onto a lock, this to me symbolises the common problem around the world, which is poverty, here this girl is deprived of a playground or a toy because she is too poor. So in essence she is locked from a normal childhood.

Pretty emotive image. Doesn't make me think 'play'

Wow, it's hard to see how this fits in a "Play" challenge, but it's a great "journalistic" photo.

Obviously a sad, lonely portrait. I'm not sure how to score it in relation to the challenge topic. Focus could be better.

To be completely honest, I really love this photo... the expression is strong, and the finish adds to the emotion of the picture... but... I dont get the sense of play here. The title, the lock, the dirt all suggest poverty, but I dont see the joy of play in the shot. In a free study I would easily give you a 10.

how is this "play"? This child looks like she never gets top play much at all. Good picture, but doesn't belong in this challenge.

great photo but the play? if I suppose the child play in a game that I don't know as translate in english (to play to hide himself) I can assign the vote to this photo 10!

Nice shot; Relevance to theme, not very clear; except if you are saying that the child has been not included in the play.

sad speaks volumes

Nice shot, but a little stretch for play, don't you think?
