Nicely done and doesn't the liriope in the center of the picture look great in black & white.

The disguise of Innocence

You will get a lot of negative comments because you used the photo of a child but pay them no mind. It may not be "creative and artsy" but those who critize obviously don't know that you can take 100 shots and only one will really capture the quicksilver moods of a small child, which is what you did beautifully. Congrats!

Out of Place (?) in Santa Cruz, CA?

Comment:
You captured a unique scene here. The contrast between the Dunkard dress & the beach houses behind are a real contrast in the differences of people. Good job.

Remembering Vietnam ...

Why did you fuzzy up the people? In doing so you have denied your viewer the ability to share in their emotions which are most clearly reflected in their faces. Yes the stance of the body may in fact give part of the message but not completely. The magic of photography is taking your viewer into a place they have never been and sharing it with those who were there. I have read the the rants about lack of appreciation for creativity but sometimes you defeat your viewer with it.

The Labor of My Hands

The background colors and the bird houses really set off this picture but the wonderful expressive face of the man is what instantly caught my attention but I am quickly pulled on to the image that is portrayed by his hands. Great!

Give me the Keys!

Now this is what I call creative including Dad's arm, hand & the keys reflected in the window. There isn't a kid in the world who hasn't pulled this little shennigan & the lighting on her face just picks up the hint of mischief.

I like the starkness of the background compared to his clothing and face. Excellent.
