(one improvement...rotate every so slightly clockwise to straighten the horizon.)

I'm going to steal that suitcase when you're least expecting it.

Great shot! You can't help but feel sad for the pair. Very captivating.

very well done

Amazingly awesome shot, you can definitely feel the sadness of it. Definitely deserved a ribbon! Congrats!!

Congrats! You truly deserved a ribbon! Wonderfully, heart-touching shot and so well executed. I loved it.

I was expecting something with this shot, I like it way you took. congrats!!!

Yayyyyyyy Laurie!!!! Wow! 7.3 and a yellow ribbon. What an incredibly high scoring challenge. And what a great tribute to your creativity, talent and execution!! I am in awe of your work!





Photographer found comment helpful.

Very well done. I like this alot. Every detail in incedible! Congratulations on the ribbon!

Photographer found comment helpful.

An instant classic...congratulations on winning the yellow ribbon!

Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm so happy you got a ribbon for this marvelous shot, but it should have been blue. Every detail of this is perfection: the bare feet, the endless line of telephone poles, the overalls with the strap hanging down, the innocence of the naked back and shoulder, the adorable little dog, the little old-fashion suitcase, etc. etc. etc. Great work!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot - well deserved result

Congrats!!! I loved this....gave it a 10.

Way to go Laurie. I loved this picture from the first time I saw it. Congrats on your ribbon.

Comments Made During the Challenge

I love how the dog is leaning on the little girl as he waits for her to weigh their options.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wasn't there a movie based on this w/Ryan and Tatum O'Neil? Good photo. I hope the suitcase is empty. ;-) I love the dirt road, nice effect.

Photographer found comment helpful.

fantastic composition!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Well composed with good colour.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the costuming and concept of this shot!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Charming and poignant. I can well remember feeling that way at that age. 10

Photographer found comment helpful.

MY FAVORITE!!! I see their emotion, it is reflected in the lightning, the composition, their posture, her foot, the pups tail, her forgotten strap, the nostalgic suitcase. Brilliant IMO! 10

Photographer found comment helpful.

Very cute and detailed

Photographer found comment helpful.

classic looking photo i would like to see more shadow detail in the big tree in the distance and the main subject to the left

Photographer found comment helpful.

What à lovely shot ! 10

Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute!

Photographer found comment helpful.

I think you were really close to something special here. Might have been a little better in black and white. It sort of has that feel to it. Great idea!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Super cute! I wish the angle was a bit wider, so the road disappeared more and the world appeared bigger, but it's still a 7 from me!

Photographer found comment helpful.

i like the idea and the composition...but the lighting is quite plain..7

Photographer found comment helpful.

Absolutely adorable, great job.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great photo, shame the light wasn't further across the cornfield but well done

Photographer found comment helpful.

I think this would be beautiful in black and white. And maybe taking the camera closer to the ground.



But great idea and still a good shot.

Photographer found comment helpful.

funny shot! very neat image!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Man, seriously adorable concept. Very well executed.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely image. I like the composition, colors and the feel of this photo.

Photographer found comment helpful.

This doesn't evoke the true challenge in my opinion. I do like the concept, it's a well produced photograph.

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is definitely one of my faves of the challenge. I love how the road leads off into nowhere. The dog is so well behaved. One thing you could do after the challenge but not in basic editing is tone down the bright fastener in her hair. Overall, I think it is a great shot with a lot of emotion and it's one of my top picks. Good luck.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Yep!! This one's gotta be the winner. If it doesn't win blue, I'm filing a formal protest :) Congratulations in advance!!! This is so incredible!!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow, very nice. I would love to see this in advanced editing :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

this is so cute! I'm trying to understand the strap falling off. Is there a point that I'm missing? Just wondering. Still a good picture.

Photographer found comment helpful.

The idea is my favorite of the bunch. I'm going to vote as if the dark look was intentional. 8

Photographer found comment helpful.

My definite pick for 3rd in this challenge of significantly underachieving entries. I think a little work with the midtones could have brought up the grass a bit, but maybe you did that on purpose to enhance the mood. My only 10.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Well done. Subject matter shows emotion very well.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Love this one! It's one of my favorites in this challenge! Great idea well executed!

Photographer found comment helpful.

cool, like the Wizard of Oz! if I had one critique it would be to look at your levels, it seems to not really really have a true white and I think brightening up would have really helped this shot. That is my only critique though, the idea and composition are great. Feel free to PM me if you want me to show you what I mean :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful and impressive.

Photographer found comment helpful.

whimsical

Photographer found comment helpful.

Break my heart! Good image, but glad to know it's not real! Nicely done.

Photographer found comment helpful.

If this is an arranged photo - which I suppose? - it would be good to make sure the girl wears a t-shirt in these troubled times...

very nice picture, the colors need a bit more saturation.

Photographer found comment helpful.

lovely.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Ribbon!

Photographer found comment helpful.

I wouldn't say this was extreme emotion, but it's such a great composition, perfectly exposed, I had to give it a 9. Brilliant! Is that a blue heeler?

Photographer found comment helpful.

AWWWWWW!!!! How PRECIOUS a shot is this?! I really kike it! It seems as though the dog is waiting to go and there's nowhere to go! LOL How absolutely adorable a shot! Nicely done!

Photographer found comment helpful.

This could almost be a painting. I love the shot and the concept!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Fantastic!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute!

Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this photograph. Well done and great setup and idea.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot!! I like how both the girl and the dog are sticking their legs out to the side to brace themselves.

Photographer found comment helpful.

nIcE..... too good...

Photographer found comment helpful.

too cute

Photographer found comment helpful.

really a great image. well constructed, I like your cure of the details. the girl without the shoes well work on the image economy, good the choice of the bag colour and the position of the tail of the dog is great. I don't know if a duotone (burungy) was most dramatical.

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a fantastic shot. I haven't commented on an image in months, but I can't pass this one up. The emotion is obvious, the composition is spot on and enhances the emotion. Every detail has been accounted for. Very nicely done.

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is so sweet. Nice to see "extreme emotion" in a sweet innocent way here. Well done.

Photographer found comment helpful.

very nice - this is extreme indeed

Photographer found comment helpful.

oh man, what a wonderful concept!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Heart-warming, innocent, emotional. Tells a great story.... or, at least one can imagine a story here. Meets the challenge very well! Very natural and pleasant exposure and scene! One of my favorites in this challenge. (10)

Photographer found comment helpful.
