" Hangin' Out" is a great shot. I really love this perspective. The subject is amazing and the girl just demands attention. The soft glow and focus is excellent for these children.
I would have really liked to see this shot with a little more contrast, and I really think it would have bumped the score up. Color especially with children always seems to give it just a little more.
This was a great piece because it was different and not the run of the mill entry. The overall composition of this shot is excellent, I don't think you could have possibly cropped it any better. Good work.
it is a bit flat looking, you my try a little contrast and when you do this may have to take down the color saturation some...this might clear it up some. A playful shot.
This is black and white with some grain would be awesome!!! But on DPC it wouldn't have done so well like that..... I would still like to see it that way though.
Awesome soft focus, but the back two girls look out of focus. A tad more dof and this would be one of my highest scores ever given out. Like this it's a damn good shot! Great emotion. Great capture. Great composition. Kudos

I love the softness of the colors, the kids are wonderful, it feels like time is going in slow motion for a minute while girl #1 ponders something. There is motion in the way the faces have fanned out into a semicircle like they will all swing back the other way when time starts going again. I love how the line of colored buttons leads up to her face and emphasizes her off camera gaze.
this is a charming image, but it comes up quite a bit short on the post-processing-
even a quick levels adjustment, some USM, and noise removal on the background make a really noticeable difference-

feel free to drop me a line after the voting is over if you would like to discuss technique in greater detail
This is a lovely shot, I almost thought it was in the singled out challenge wih a troubling DOF ... for this challenge the DOF works, the kids work, and I think it is lovely.
