This is amazing my photo went from 3.3 to 3.9, I would be rich by now if it was a stock! And for those who critiziced for having childrens' hands in the picture: they were midgets ok MIDGETS I tell you. Thanks very much for a couple of positive comments, one word of praise overshadows a thousand criticisms.
Looks like we have some childrens hands in this photo. However, since the challenge didn't specify childrens body parts, I have to assume that it meets the challenge. I would think they also meant no childrens body parts, but since it isn't specified I have to give you benefit of the doubt. The angle and lighting are good. The little hamster definately depicts an aspect of childhood. Good luck in the challenge.
i think this violates the spirit of the challenge. this clearly has children in it, whereas the challenge specifically stated not to. as a photo, it's ok. good positioning, but it's cluttered and the light is harsh (flash).
Nice idea. I'd like a closer crop and maybe rearrangement of the extra hands so that pretty much the whole background was flesh rather than the blue cloth. Kavey
You're hearing it a lot huh? I decided ultimately that this was in the SPIRIT OF THE CHALLENGE despite the children's hands. (Perhaps they're adults, but if so, it's just not obvious enough)
I like the idea of this picture. It captures curiosity, and the desire to touch and experience things which is so much a part of childhood, and an adult guiding, showing them.
