 Hadn't planned on entering this challenge but thought I would skim through my images for 2011 to see if I had anything worthy. We actually have this image hanging as a 16x24 canvas in our dining area. Love this shot. The last day of our annual vacation at eh Green House of Fun. I have no clue what they are talking about. I love this image.

Not sure I understand the black area around the campfire ring. It almost looks like the campfire ring is an island. Cute postures, and great capture of the flames & smoke. Nice bright, vivid colors.

Hah, such a small fire for such a huge fire pit. I like the color different between the clothing and trees.

Clarity seems to be lacking slightly, but overall very nice composition. Makes me want to go camping again, now.

not sure how to make this better, but you have the start of something here. maybe a tighter crop or some light selective desaturation?
