 I took this through my dining room window looking down on our alley which is one of the paths local kids take to school. I liked the feeling of camaraderie of these boys. The original was a raw file, processed in Capture 1, with final finishing in PS7. I cropped, used levels to up the brightness a bit and sharpened the image.

This is the kind of photo that I have literally hundreds of in my house. It captures a moment that you will look back on in fondness later in life. The problem here is that even though it is moving to you (and me in my case) , here in a photo contest, it looks a bit like a snapshot. As an example, one of the boys has a post coming out of his head, and the focus isn't tack sharp.

Since it is advanced editing, I might have cloned out the garden and worked hard on the saturation in the grass.

It is a very nice composition though. Pictures of kids just being kids are good ones. In this one, I'm left curious about what they are happily chatting about.

Different perspective might have helped
