Okay...the little girl playing in the leaves was mine! My granddaughter was full of glee to have the leaves falling all around her. Her mommy was throwing armfuls of them up in the air...I was taking pictures like crazy...and baby girl was having a fantastic lot of fun.

I think a photo like this brings up sweet memories of being little and the world full of wonder again. I knew it was not sharp, but I also knew it had the essence of emotion.

I voted for the Dr O...I loved the light!

This was a drive by shooting...so had a lot of road in it. I did not really like the crop either. But was a little stuck as I was returning back home to the East Coast...I am now Back East, just in time for Autumn colour shoot!




My congrats to the winners.

I don't know...maybe we are born with graffiti spirits and the withall lives inside each of us...because while I am reading all this....here is how I found my granddaughter, whom is under my charge today

The Terrible Two's




She looks so unrepentive!




I would enter this in the comp except it states "public" art and I am not taking her in public looking like this!!!

Oh yes David, I will....have you saw the kind of photos I am getting. Wow I will NEED the other placements to level the judging. I already have too many favorites.

By the way Sir, where is your entry?...I bet it is coming!!!

This is a wonderful set.
#1 Number one is priceless. I love the true capture of the human emotions. Children do this better then any adult. They are so uninhibited. Number one has fantastic impact for the viewer. It brings delight, amusement, and the pure joy of childhood. In my opinion it a lovely capture.

#2. The seven year old and the missing teeth. Again it a nice capture, a picture for the family scrapbook. I often am gravitated toward pictures of children where they are not smiling, because they have been told to do so. She is a darling.

#3 Brother and sister pose is sweet and I love the way the little sister is looking off verses the young man looking right at you.

#4 This is another winner. This photograph draws you in for a deeper look. The child eyes seem so tact sharp that her look hold ones attention, again lending itself to emotion. Nice work here!

#5 She has wonderful life and lights in her eyes. Her pleased look, or smug look makes one grin back. I am sure this picture will be cherished for a long time.

#6 Not as capturing as the others, I found the shadows on her face distracting and I found her pose to be a bit un-natural like, as well as her back too dark.

#7 This was not my favorite either. I thought it looked too posed and not very natural either. it looked like something you might pose for teenagers .

Please, this is just my own opinions I hope it's been a help to you to see an others view

Here is a place to share thoughts and ideas on the weekly comp.

Have fun everyone!
