Post actions
An instant classic...congratulations on winning the yellow ribbon!
Post actions
I'm so happy you got a ribbon for this marvelous shot, but it should have been blue. Every detail of this is perfection: the bare feet, the endless line of telephone poles, the overalls with the strap hanging down, the innocence of the naked back and shoulder, the adorable little dog, the little old-fashion suitcase, etc. etc. etc. Great work!
Post actions

I love how the dog is leaning on the little girl as he waits for her to weigh their options.

Wasn't there a movie based on this w/Ryan and Tatum O'Neil? Good photo. I hope the suitcase is empty. ;-) I love the dirt road, nice effect.

Well composed with good colour.
Post actions
Love the costuming and concept of this shot!!
Post actions
Charming and poignant. I can well remember feeling that way at that age. 10
Post actions
MY FAVORITE!!! I see their emotion, it is reflected in the lightning, the composition, their posture, her foot, the pups tail, her forgotten strap, the nostalgic suitcase. Brilliant IMO! 10

classic looking photo i would like to see more shadow detail in the big tree in the distance and the main subject to the left

I think you were really close to something special here. Might have been a little better in black and white. It sort of has that feel to it. Great idea!
Post actions
Super cute! I wish the angle was a bit wider, so the road disappeared more and the world appeared bigger, but it's still a 7 from me!
Post actions
i like the idea and the composition...but the lighting is quite plain..7
Post actions
Absolutely adorable, great job.
Post actions
Great photo, shame the light wasn't further across the cornfield but well done
Post actions
I think this would be beautiful in black and white. And maybe taking the camera closer to the ground.
Post actions
funny shot! very neat image!
Post actions
Man, seriously adorable concept. Very well executed.
Post actions
Lovely image. I like the composition, colors and the feel of this photo.
Post actions
This doesn't evoke the true challenge in my opinion. I do like the concept, it's a well produced photograph.
Post actions
This is definitely one of my faves of the challenge. I love how the road leads off into nowhere. The dog is so well behaved. One thing you could do after the challenge but not in basic editing is tone down the bright fastener in her hair. Overall, I think it is a great shot with a lot of emotion and it's one of my top picks. Good luck.
Post actions
Yep!! This one's gotta be the winner. If it doesn't win blue, I'm filing a formal protest :) Congratulations in advance!!! This is so incredible!!!
Post actions
wow, very nice. I would love to see this in advanced editing :)
Post actions
this is so cute! I'm trying to understand the strap falling off. Is there a point that I'm missing? Just wondering. Still a good picture.
Post actions
The idea is my favorite of the bunch. I'm going to vote as if the dark look was intentional. 8
Post actions
My definite pick for 3rd in this challenge of significantly underachieving entries. I think a little work with the midtones could have brought up the grass a bit, but maybe you did that on purpose to enhance the mood. My only 10.
Post actions
Well done. Subject matter shows emotion very well.
Post actions
Love this one! It's one of my favorites in this challenge! Great idea well executed!
Post actions
cool, like the Wizard of Oz! if I had one critique it would be to look at your levels, it seems to not really really have a true white and I think brightening up would have really helped this shot. That is my only critique though, the idea and composition are great. Feel free to PM me if you want me to show you what I mean :)
Post actions
Beautiful and impressive.

Break my heart! Good image, but glad to know it's not real! Nicely done.
Post actions
If this is an arranged photo - which I suppose? - it would be good to make sure the girl wears a t-shirt in these troubled times...
Post actions
very nice picture, the colors need a bit more saturation.

I wouldn't say this was extreme emotion, but it's such a great composition, perfectly exposed, I had to give it a 9. Brilliant! Is that a blue heeler?
Post actions
AWWWWWW!!!! How PRECIOUS a shot is this?! I really kike it! It seems as though the dog is waiting to go and there's nowhere to go! LOL How absolutely adorable a shot! Nicely done!

This could almost be a painting. I love the shot and the concept!

Great shot!! I like how both the girl and the dog are sticking their legs out to the side to brace themselves.

really a great image. well constructed, I like your cure of the details. the girl without the shoes well work on the image economy, good the choice of the bag colour and the position of the tail of the dog is great. I don't know if a duotone (burungy) was most dramatical.
Post actions
This is a fantastic shot. I haven't commented on an image in months, but I can't pass this one up. The emotion is obvious, the composition is spot on and enhances the emotion. Every detail has been accounted for. Very nicely done.
Post actions
This is so sweet. Nice to see "extreme emotion" in a sweet innocent way here. Well done.
Post actions
very nice - this is extreme indeed
Post actions
oh man, what a wonderful concept!
Post actions
Heart-warming, innocent, emotional. Tells a great story.... or, at least one can imagine a story here. Meets the challenge very well! Very natural and pleasant exposure and scene! One of my favorites in this challenge. (10)
