| It doesn't scream childhood to me, but I am sure it does to you. Won't affect my score any.... The verticality of the masts could have been emphasized more, and the picture is a little dark and without detial at the bottom... |

| This probably invokes more memories for me than it will for most. I spent many summers sailing from docks just like this one. It's a pleasant well don't picture. The angles of the masts relative to the pilings catches the viewers attention. The large white sky is a little bland. Is it blown out? Maybe a different time of day, with clouds? Or in color with a sunset/sunrise? 8. |

Cara 'r arfer chan ddua & gwynnwy 'ma , ag 'r gorwel yn lladd 'r ddelw 'n agos i mewn hanner. 'r rigging ydy bit jagged , namyn a s 'n debygol o achos 'r chywasgedd. 8
I like the use of black & white here, with the horizon cutting the image nearly in half. The rigging is a bit jagged, but that's probably due to the compression. 8

| This definately does not portray childhood in my life, but I think you did an excelent job of showing that it DOES depict childhood in your life. Everyone's childhood is different and I can picture a little kid out on one of these boats with his/her Dad learning everything to do. The angle you chose is great. Black and white works really nicely here and although #1 is a bit dark on the side, the shadows to the left are a wonderful touch. Great shot and good luck in the challenge. |

with the title it could be the boat or the ocean as your first love, or sailing? Its up to the viewer to decide. I like that a lot.
great focus and comp. 8 |

I'd like to see the front tips of all the identical boats.
Nice strong verticals and diagonals and I like the tiny sailboat out on the water.

| This picture doesn't remind me of childhood, because I wasn't raised close to a big body of water, but I can easely imagine it. I chose it between my favorites because it's a beautifull, very well composed image. |

| I like all the lines in this photo. I think the B&W makes it even better. I would like to see it in color if possible. 8. |

| Nice lines. I like the choice of black and white. It doesn't always add to a photo, but I think it probably does here. I also like the repetition of form. 7 (would have been an 8-9, but it doesn't say childhood to me without the title, and even with, I feel it's a stretch), just-married |

| This is a part of my childhood. I love this. I like that you were able to capture the entire mast, and I like how the sky just goes away - great detail (works well as a Black/White too). "8" Good Luck - Gotcha |

| Great shot. I love the composition with the strong diagonals. The title gives context and tells me this was an important part of your childhood. Nicely done. -ClubJuggle. |
