You get extra creds for the idea and composition! The man in front is a bit dominant, and the focus doesn't quite do this photo justice. But I think its a good photo nevertheless! Well done!

Nice detail in the grass and the tire. Nice color saturation.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Intriguing set-up; and one that you have committed to fully. I do appreciate the sharing of the vision.

Critical stuff: My luke-warm-at-best comment above has probably tipped you off that I'm not a great fan of this image. I'll try and let you know why. Although the kid in the tire is effective as a compositional element I find the tree top right to add little to the image. Then there is the foreground figure - clearly he is a fundamental component in the image but if I'm honest I don't like him being there - his form holds blown highlights, edge fringing and an unattractive blur.

Overall: I like what you've tried to pull off but I think you have over-played your vision here and have lost something as a result. It does offer something different from the mainstream though - so thanks for offering it up.

Looks like the wheel is attached to the glasses.

not the best picture in the lot...would be more appealing without the guy in the foreground

Funny image......I would like it better if the man in the fore-front were not so prominent.
