Ooooh. I like this, Barry. It's a different take on leading lines, having the fence curve left and then back to the kid. Nicely done!

Good luck with this! I'm sure you'll do well. The small child is a perfect compliment to the rustic wood.

Very nice picture. The lines draw me throughout the photo, to the child, and then beyond. However, I haven't a clue to what's just beyond the frame. This is both good and unsatisfying.

Great use of the leading lines! Oddly enough, I'm more drawn to the curve in the fence than the brightly colored jacket.

A perfect composition. The fence tweaked my interest and I followed it as it lead me to the subject... well done

Not a fan of the grainy look

great leading lines, I didn't even notice the little one in red at first, then my eye went right to them. Perfect.

Great leading lines and nice use of selective color. It starts to feel a little beyond basic editing but if you get by, great shot!

not enough contrast between the fence and the ground, good photo though

Great use of desaturation.

I like the desat and the composition of the fences but I think I would like the child a bit larger in the picture

Nicely leading. Well done.

I really like the selective desat on this image, The little bit of color on the child aided by the fence really gives you depth to this image. Excellent job.

Very nice image, I think I'd give the curve a little more room to breathe though with a little looser crop.
