Good for you Kelly! Your talent is undeniable, and your modesty and little-girl excitement at winning are so refreshing. I ranked this shot as an *8* and think you absolutely deserve the Blue Ribbon. Congrats!

It's amazing how when sometimes you break the rules it works. You don't follow the rule of thirds. The centerline of the image matches the heads of your subjects almost exactly. You don't have any leading lines. You're frame is almost empty. You have a great amount of 'bald headed' sky. You're slightly oversharpened causing slight haloing around all the dark areas. It's basically a snapshot. However it moves the viewer enough to bring you a win.

Great shot! Congrats :) Keep up the great work...

Congrats, you deserve it, and they talk bad about the kits lens, lol.

Congrats on your first place. I still so love this one. Hope you offer it up as a print.

Aside from its obviously beautiful color, really excellent tonal values (note the not-quite-ilhouettes, rich in shadow detail), and strong sense of "family at play", there's another aspect of this image that's enthralling, and this is the sense of "altered scale".

Congrats. After looking through your portfolio some weeks ago I thought it won't be long until you would get a ribbon. I am glad my predictions were right.

Congrats. This is a great picture. You might want to think about uploading a printable picture for sale. I think you could make some good money.

Very nice photo love the background color cast. Great Family shot, well represented.

Nice early evening color. Good capture of a shared family moment. Horizon level.

Three daughters? Don't you think that's taking the Rule of Thirds too far? Lovely family scene. I especially like your POV ... it breaks the jumping daughters' earthly shackles entirely; joie-de-vivre! I'd have knocked a sliver off the side behind Dad, to lose the little square thing behind the tree. Otherwise it's terrific. 10

Good framing. Good lighting. Excellent action. All around nice picture.
Post actions
beautiful! love the colour and good capture
Post actions
Almost perfect. If it could be a bit warmer (white balance, that is). I am going both ways about the tree. It almost works because the scene also has a bit of a cloud and water(?). As a matter of fact, I don't really notice the tree having much affect on where my eye goes. Nice job freezing the action and capturing a nice moment.
Post actions
Nice shot - would perhaps prefer the silhouettes to be a little stronger. All the same it sums up the challenge nicely. 8

That is very nice. I think I would have post processed that cloud out on the right.

Really cute shot! Nice colors, nice action, just nice! I would have cropped the tree from the left for a cleaner overall, but that's just me.

Beautiful image with lovely open sky. I like the semi-silhouette nature of the people. The cloud is distracting to me in terms of composition but the image is still a strong one.
Post actions
perfect photo of awesome "family time". memories that will last forever!

this is a fine image just jumped at me 10

Nice photo of a family spending time together. I like the backlighting - nice touch as this would not convey the same in full daylight.
