 Two young kids accompanied their father and grandfather to gather wood. They played and helped and towards the end of the day the younger one was so tired and dirty. I tried to capture the tiredness at the end of a long day's play.

I do love this. It's unapolegtically real. What I don't like is the slight halo or glow behind the child's head (most noticeable on the right side).

The blue in this image looks much too saturated, particularly where is shows up in the skin on the right side of the image.

Saturation appears a bit over the top. It's causing some haloing around his head. Kind of a no, no BUT on 3rd world appeal this should do pretty well.

Auuuugh! I LOVE this photo! L-O-V-E it!!! I have a feeling it is scoring very well for you and I hope it wins! Knowing this dpc crowd a bit, I'm thinking it may have even scored higher if it were a black and white or sepia, but if it's not in the 7's, you're getting robbed! I'm not voting this time, but just wanted to tell you how much I love your work here!

PP halo effect is too distracting... Could have been better done. Great look and subject
