The whole wooden structure is very distracting---a close up of the bucket and shovels dead center with some of the wood around like a frame would have been better.
Life's a beach when you have a bucketful of fun:-) Nice use of leading lines that draws our eye to the vanishing point off into the horizon. As we 'walk' there with our eyes, we spy this shovels and sand pail to grab as we stroll down the the beach. The handle smile on the bucket invokes a sense of a happy play day. My only plaint with this face is that it *could* be stronger - some may have trouble seeing the eyes and smile at first glance. A nose would have made the emphasis of the face stronger - perhaps a small sifter or very small rake hanging over the side to serve as a nose would have worked. Still very creative image and well done - 8
Awesome! The lines are really excellently created, but they end up drawing my gaze to...not the subject of the picture "/
I still love the colors (which really bring out your subject - almost cancels out the lines) and the creativity!
WOW! Awsome DOF. Beautiful. Unfortunately it took me a while to see the smile, I'm assuming it is the pail and shovels. IMO, you should have entered this into the Free Study.
