I like the idea of this photograph....great subject material for this challenge. I wonder how it would have looked like in color and with a much closer crop on the kids....less trees and more focus on the kids.
good depiction of a chaotic situation, too many trees in the background comtete for my attention with the playful people though. I would have cropped down to make the shot's aspect ratio wider
Wonderful photograph! Love the grainyness and portrayal of sheer energy. I think the extrreme backlighting and contrast is very appropo and the way that the people appear halo'd by bright light gives the photo an almost ethereal feel. Extremely well done.
Not much here to hold my interest. I think if I had been there to see what was going on, maybe it would be more interesting. It just looks like a bunch of muddy people. lol.
I really, really, really, like this photo. To me it depicts the theme of the challenge to a tee. And you got a reasonably high mark from me because of it. I am wondering, however, how it will fair because it is not perfectly sharp and detailed. Appears over sharpened. I am also wondering why you did not submit this in color for added drama. At any rate, best of luck. . . and I wish I were there! BTW, whose car did they ride home in?!!!
