Lowell,

Computers, within the rules of this website at least, cannot alter composition save by cropping. The balance, poise and urgency of this image are very much real, and I believe are the reason this obtained a well deserved average of over 8. To avoid taking this shot or press the delete button would have been greater affronts to photography, not reducing unavoidable noise and background disturbances. If a "great image with terrfic impact" posted on a digital photography website with strict editing rules leaves you "kind of sick to [your] stomach", may I suggest that you're in the wrong place.

Very effective, the striking colour matches well the power of the composition. It pulled my eye in and some of the more subtle elements kept it there. Well done.

Brilliant. Balance, creativity, faming, perspective, intrigue. It's all there. Great job.

Bubble Fun

Exellent balance between the child and the bubble arrangement, in colour and shape. Just slightly offset by some background distraction - I think the fountain may take a bit more than it adds. Very nice shot nonetheless!

Very creative effect of the timing. I didn't notice it at first (for a few seconds, lol), but the balance of the composition held my attention, and the crisp feel from the colour is definitely appropriate for the subject matter. Good effort.
