Having grown up on a farm in the country in PA, this is one I can definitely relate to ! I love the lighting and the composition, and the DOF works well for me. lhall

Comment by Journey:
This is pleasant landscape. It relates to childhood only because of the title. Yes, kids explore so do adults. So, I don't see anything specifically "Childhood" about this. Methinks, not enough contrast in the dark trees in the background. 5 Journey

WOW - excellent photo and idea. at first I rated this a 9 now a 10 - took me a couple of looks to realize what this is. (Running out of steam for commenting - so being brief) Excellent overall execution. Not one thing I would change. Lots of time and effort as well as skill for this image - I love the color - great lighting - just really great work

Lovely lighting through the ice and good colour in the pencil. Not sure the lower foreground does anything for the photo.
