Technically, there is much wrong with this image. However, I like the emotion of the image and to me that is more important sometimes. My first entry for 2013 and I want to express more emotion with my images and not worry too much about photographic rules and voters expectation. I am going to try and this year to better express myself with my entries.

What a joyful image. The color, light, and shadows bring it to life despite the point of focus. A care free image that perfectly captures a child's love of chalk.
I like the boy in the back; sharp, good color, etc... The girl in front needs to be either sharp or more OOF IMO. She's kind of stealing the show with that smile, yet isn't in focus.
