This was a quick shot in the Mall with my point and shoot. At the time I had the Window Shopping challenge in mind but didn't enter. I liked the way the kids were so engrossed in their "window shopping" here. The post processing is a bit over the top. Just a fun shot of kids at Christmas.

Looks way too much like a surveillance camera shot. Way too fuzzy, blacks are too black and nothing intersted about your subjects.

cute scene, there seems to be some smooting in the pp that takes away from the shot

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Very nice story here and I am a fan of the high contrast - personally I think the blown highlights work really well.

Critical stuff: There seems to be some 'Topaz'-like smoothing going on - most prominent on her top and his trousers; I must admit to finding the effect distracting.

Overall: An engaging image, but one that (for me) has a couple of niggles.

Cute scene, looks like they are buying their Christmas gift for mom. I wish we couldn't see the shoe store though, that's adds a lot of distracting elements to the photo.
