I prefer the B&W version of the chess players over the toned one. The B&W seems to give it more of an urban feel.
The little boy is cute. Photo is nicely framed showing both him and his shadow. It's obvious he's been on a "treasure hunt" of sorts.

Three good ones, Jack, though I'd lose the toned version of number two. And if you ever get to shoot number 1 again with everything precisely the same , I'd like to see his feet.

Thanks for the feedback Linda. I hadn't really noticed the woman but I think I'll try to clone her out. The little boy was badly sunburned from a day at the beach as you can see. He could hardly carry the pail of rocks he collected and was trailing far behind his family crying "Hey wait for me".

Leave her in. She's not a huge distraction, just a wee one, and not worth the aggravation of cloning out. Your main subject definitely grabs all the attention.

Thanks so much for having a look and leaving that positive feedback BD. People photos have just started to grab my attention (used to do a lot of wildlife/macro/and landscapes. I'd never cut the feet off a critter, not sure what happened here

Thanks Ben. I think I'll try to pull out a bit more detail around the eyes for that very reason.

Thanks for that insight BD. I only got serious about my photography a year or so ago. Prior to that I was just taking "snapshots" (this is where I was and this is what I saw--with no thought at all to composition and such). Even now I struggle with creating more "meaning" with my images. I guess it's a fine line between the two.

Thanks Gina
I didn't notice it either when I took it but I can see BD's point.
