It doesn't scream childhood to me, but I am sure it does to you. Won't affect my score any.... The verticality of the masts could have been emphasized more, and the picture is a little dark and without detial at the bottom...
This probably invokes more memories for me than it will for most. I spent many summers sailing from docks just like this one. It's a pleasant well don't picture. The angles of the masts relative to the pilings catches the viewers attention. The large white sky is a little bland. Is it blown out? Maybe a different time of day, with clouds? Or in color with a sunset/sunrise? 8.

I like the use of black & white here, with the horizon cutting the image nearly in half. The rigging is a bit jagged, but that's probably due to the compression. 8 - Manic -
This definately does not portray childhood in my life, but I think you did an excelent job of showing that it DOES depict childhood in your life. Everyone's childhood is different and I can picture a little kid out on one of these boats with his/her Dad learning everything to do. The angle you chose is great. Black and white works really nicely here and although #1 is a bit dark on the side, the shadows to the left are a wonderful touch. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.
with the title it could be the boat or the ocean as your first love, or sailing? Its up to the viewer to decide. I like that a lot. great focus and comp. 8
This is a beautiful photo... I love the triangulation created by the lines here... This is also an excellent black and white... I can definitely see this photo mounted and framed :) - 10 - jmsetzler
This picture doesn't remind me of childhood, because I wasn't raised close to a big body of water, but I can easely imagine it. I chose it between my favorites because it's a beautifull, very well composed image.
Nice lines. I like the choice of black and white. It doesn't always add to a photo, but I think it probably does here. I also like the repetition of form. 7 (would have been an 8-9, but it doesn't say childhood to me without the title, and even with, I feel it's a stretch), just-married
This is a part of my childhood. I love this. I like that you were able to capture the entire mast, and I like how the sky just goes away - great detail (works well as a Black/White too). "8" Good Luck - Gotcha
Great shot. I love the composition with the strong diagonals. The title gives context and tells me this was an important part of your childhood. Nicely done. -ClubJuggle.
