I love how you've created this moment of childhood magic. The touch of orange is great. Excellent shot.

I really like this shot... The focus is what really makes it in my opinion... Nice contrast with the black shirt and colorful flying bug... Interesting shot that works well in this challenge... Well done!

6 - Maybe it is because of the size constraints, but I wish I could decipher what that orange/yellow thing is. Otherwise, I like the tones and wish this had a little more of a dreamy/fantasy feel overall.

Yes, very good. I'm trying for the life of me to figure out what that orange thing is.. Very interesting..

nice shot, I think that highlighting the bug is a distraction in the shot and maybe should have been removed.

Why this works for me: I connect with the scene, having been there, at that age. It feels lonely; I like that. The duotone is lovely. The flora is beautiful. The dark shirt against the light boy+grass is interesting. I can smell the hay, or barley, or whatever it is.

Why this doesn't work for me: I don't connect with the scene other than through superficial memories of childhood. To me, "fine art" is emotive on a darker, or a deeper, scale; this is neither. The seemingly purposefully selected and saturated element near centre-left (a leaf or something) is contrived, in my view.

Not bad. I like the composition and the leaf(?), bird(?), moth(?). I like that its colouring stands out. The colour on the boy seems uneven, though, his left arm is more orange than the rest of him. The grain might be a bit overdone but overall I like the sepia tone.
