Nice idea.. Good shot.

Not bad.... might have to lock the door when passing. j/k

LOL... this is awesome

I had the same thought smokebigbird... I would freak out if my daughter did this. With that said, I know this is a staged shot and on that ..... well done

(just pray she doesn't do this for real in 10 - 15 years.)

Wow... I've had those days too. Good job.

I like the B&W.. looks good.

Agrees with both... great idea though!!

I believe the flowers facing us is a reflection. They seem to line up.

Great shot.... Looks beautiful

Kinda stretching the theme a little here aren't ya?

Very well done author... beautiful.

Depth of Field.... basically show more in focus.

not a kitten... but close enough?

If it is an oooooold cat then it is not a kitten. LOL Off theme?

I agree with Locks.... can you reshoot with a darker background? Play with lighting?

"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad.....etc"

cute puppy though. try and reshoot with him yawning... will look like he is biting. GL

wow... 24 comments (with mine) and growing... Gotta love the attention. My 2 cents is that he made the balloon animals (product)using his hands (tools) so it's on theme. Just because I don't see him giving them to kids in the pic doesn't mean he can't still give them. No different than a carpenter, stone worker, or welder making a product with no customer in the pic. He is holding one of them, so to me he is "working"

Congrats on third. Well done.

Congrats.. Nice shot. Love the pattern here.

Congrats.. Nice shot.!!!!!!

Congrats.. Nice shot... I knew this was a winner.

Congrats.. Nice shot.

Congrats.. Nice shot.

Congrats.. Well done

Congrats.. Nice shot.

Congrats.. Nice shot.

Congrats my friend... very well done!

Agrees also... maybe even cropping so it is closer to either edge.

Had to look at HI-Res to see what it was (LOL) but glad i did. Very nice author.

Nice.... right on theme. i kinda agree with the ripples... but we can't control everything can we.

Cute shot.

Simple but effective. Very nice.

Nice shot here but i may have cropped the sky at the water (and straightened) for a more "minimalistic feel. The eyes are drawn up to the sky... without the sky the footprints in the sand would have been the focus. Just my opinion.

This is a nice shot but for this contest I might have even cropped out the mountains. The lines of the grass would have made the shot and without the mountains it would have been less busy. Just my opinion.

Very pretty... can't get more minimal than this. GL

Very pretty..Makes me want to go camping

Neat idea.... Good shot.

WOW!! I like it!!!! Top entry here for sure.

A little OOF but great idea.

Great set up and shot. Colors are brilliant. Top entry.

Simple and nice. Good job.

I like the angle but its a little too "warm" for me.

Both!!! LOL We do this at work for the kids all the time.

Awesome perspective. GL
