    #5 and #8 are the best as there is an interaction with the people and the environment. #5 captures the sense of awe inspired by the scenery. #8 captures the energy of the child.

    If only one, I would go with #8.

    #8 is very nice. It's clean and simple. The geometry is interesting in and of itself but what really makes this shot is the little boy .

    I like the color version you have very much but I'm curious as to how that would look in B&W.

    Thank you so much all of you for the feed-back. Too bad we cannot upload more than one photo :D

    Here is the B&W version of the bridge, but I think I'll go with the colored one.:

    Thanks for indulging me. The B&W looks OK, but the splash of blue sky adds a nice touch to the shot. The color version is the stronger of the two. mwink.gif

    :D I like the blue in the sky too, that gives more dimension to the image.

    Thank you again everybody for the feed-back. I posted the colored version of the bridge to the contest.

    However, now it's getting more difficult, cause yesterday evening I took some more shots by the
    Guatemalan Lake Atitlan:

    I envy you the warmth, sun, and vivid nature at this time of year. The boy on the bridge is still very good for this challenge, but #2 of this series is very nice - the colors give it more depth and life, IMO.

    I would stick with the bridge... 4, 6, and 8 are the nicest of the bunch for me.

    I do enjoy both the BW and the color of the bridge shot.
