I think this image should have scored higher. It's such a lovely moment that perfectly meets the challenge. Love the DOF and the softness and the contrasting dark and light. Very nicely done.
the top is a little blown out which makes the face a little dark, but the focus on the flower is excellent, and i love the composition and idea!! nice job!
In my Top 3, but I'm not sure it has enough pizazz for the rest of the crowd. I love its simplicity, and for me it catches raw emotion, with the execution of a pro. GL, I hope it does well.
Perfect example of the beauty and pleasure young children can find in the most everyday elements of the world around us... Love the backlighting on the flower. In this particular case I think a deeper depth of field would work better allowing both the dandelion head and the mouth to be in sharp focus though I still like it a lot as it is.
another emotive capture. to me, these are the essence of the challenge. it's not about hiding a face, it seeing the subjects emotions without the face being a necessity. 8 (only for the blown out whites in the top right of the frame)
I think this one is my favorite! I love the softness and how it takes me back to memories of being a child. It's very peaceful. I can almost feel the breeze in the air and the sun shining.
