Excelent job of getting that horizon straight with the top of the frame. Great framing. There is definately a lot of childhood in this photo. The lighting is perfect and that background is beautiful. I like the angle you chose with the lake in the background. Is it a lake, or is it an ocean? Never seen the ocean, but living in michigan, LOTS of lakes. lol Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

The composition is good...I like the shadow of the pinwheels...the whole picture gives the feeling of a lazy,hazy summer day.

This is a very calming shot. I like the colors and composition. Nice job. (but what's that shadow in the bottom left corner?) :o)

Focus needs to be more on the sand castle... maybe with childhood tools? Too much suft and sky.

I know its on lthe beach and in bright sunlight, but the colors look a little washed out. Maybe since there was so much sun it would have been better take the exposure down a step

I like a lot. If you have the software, try saturating the colors and giving it a bit more of cvontrast, very good!

oh, and careful. see the shadow on the lower left corner? : )

The ONLY thing I could "nitpick" is the shadow in the lower left corner. I love your composition, and the sheer simplicity of the shot at conveying childhood. I like it a lot. lhall (9)

This reminds me of a California beach. The only thing that I don't like is the shadow at the very bottom left. 7.
