Dinosaur Park

Purple dino, eh? ... this one is cropped a little too tight. Would be better if the dino went right to the edge of the frame, but was not cut off. The lighting seems a little flat (cloudy day?)...color might be a bit more interesting with some sun or shadows. 6.

Missed Opportunity

Comment:
The front tombstone is almost impossible to read. Since I think the inscription on the tombstone is supposed to be part of the main subject, maybe some different lighting would make the inscription easier to read. A shallower depth of field could also be used to blur out the other two tombstones a little bit. Nice composition...keep up the good work. 8.

Thrill Ride

Very nice...might be slightly improved if the closest swing wasn't clipped off.

Beautiful photo! I don't see the connection to "childhood" as clearly as some of the other submissions, but this one still gets high marks. 9.

Hospital Child

Very good strong sentiment. However, getting the crutches into the composition seems forced..would be a strong photo without the crutches and some stronger contrast. (7)
