I was going for Norman Rockwell, but always somehow seem to end up closer to Norman Mailer.

I can't believe this didn't ribbon. As far as I'm concerned, it definitely should have (me and one other gave you 10). Its a shame so many are disturbed by post processing, but I think its brilliant and perfect for the challenge. Well done, ignore all those low scores and feel proud of yourself!

If the boy and pink pole are the main subject the "crayon" should be fully in the picture. My attention is more drawn towards the two people talking. Otherwise, nice suburbia scene.

Just say no! You don't need to mow the lawn, rake the leaves, and wash the car on Saturday! Be your own man, just say no! (...and watch that kid before he gets squashed by a car!)If the you child is the subject, he is too far left in the composition. The adults are the subject in this composition.

Ahhhh......Suburbia where you actually see people out on the street talking as opposed to the urban centers where people just rush down the streets, not stopping to even make eye contact! I think that I would have cropped out the road portion at the bottom.

This looks like one of those 60's drawings of 'what life could be like in the future at ...... estate'. Very typical suburban shot, I love the couple arguing while young Peter defends the world with his pink light saber (crayon?), and the pumpkin on the step - perfect. Great editing (how did you do it????), well done, I'm giving it a 10

The dodge of the three people and pumpkin/door and the burn of the house and car are a little too drastic in my opinion. On the same token, the image really feels like a print or painting. Great feeling of the suburbs.

Nice tones and sharpness. I find the frame a little distracting and the composition a little awkward. Peter is too far out of the frame I feel. Does feel very suburban though.

good idea but Peter is a bit lost, wandering out of the shot.
