Well, thanks for the comments. I'm happy that some voters could see what I wanted to express on my picture.
For those who could see my intention clearly, here is a brief explanation. CITY: well the playground is a characteristic of small to large cities. You rarely find it in rural areas. LIFE: this is more difficult to capture. In the picture, I tried to capture life via the footsteps in the large foreground. It is 'life' that has passed, and this fact is signified by the people facing away and walking away from the picture.
Very interesting composition, nice use of black and white. Churned up sand like that is a transient sign of life, so many mingled footprints, making it dominate the photo is a cool idea.
great photo for black and white, at first i thought you should have gotten less sand, but then i see how you needed it to relate to your title, i like it alot.
IMO too much "beach". Overall, shot is hard to view, to see what all is going on. Three subjects, two backs and one very hard to see. Photo 5 City 7 total 6
Dark, but not moody. A lot of foreground, with no particular appeal to it. Interesting that the models are mostly facing away from the camera, but I don't see any message to that.
The overall quality of this photo is good. I'm curious as to why you chose black and white? I like this particular perspective with the empty sand in the foreground.. I normally wouldn't but the texture of the sand is nice. = 7 - jmsetzler
