Very cute photo -- like a little Arthur and Lancelot! I only wish the sword had been a different color so it stood out a little more form the golden background. It's a wonderful shot though.
I hate pictures of children :(
But I voted 10 for the Blue Ribbon in Delicate ... so maybe you'll do well ...
Action, colour, composition, timing, you've got everything here. 10 of course.
Great color without overdoing it. And whether the boys are posed or not, the shot looks candid, which I think makes it a nice slice of childhood rather than turning it into something schmaltzy. Way to go.
The focus and colors are marvelous and I love the harmony
both physical and esoteric. It provokes a feelinsg of carefreeness, love, family,
friendship, energy, youth, innocence, trust.....I could go on and on. Just
delightful. Thank you for sharing. 9
