Very good photo with a "magical" feel and the perfect title. The colors are vivid and primary, really adding to the whole "toy land" idea. I'm giving it 4, with the only criticism being the over-abundance of foreground (snow) and background (trees). Needs more of a focus, with the 3 images spread far apart and fairly small in the frame. Like it though!

Reminds me of my most favorite childhood movie, Hansel and Gretel. Dad ended up taping over it (footy LOL). Love the bright colors and simple pleasures that this photo portrays. Well done.

Comment from angel on a dark path


What a fun play area for the kids! Too bad at least one of them wasn't there that day... the image is lacking a solid focal point with the tractor, cottage, and wagon so widespread....The overexposed foreground detracts a bit too.

Very good photograph. The technical aspects are well done, the contrast seems a bit off though. I think I would crop a bit off the bottom, the wagons seem to small.

Comment from Niall


this is just a gorgeous photograph debbie, this would look great as the cover of a christmas greeting card and the positioning of the tractor and trailer along with their colours is perfect, brilliant work!

Nice shot. I like the composition and the fact that it has almost all of the primary colors is great. Keep up the great work.

Comment from Patrick Harden


Amazing clarity LowRider, I love the layout. That massive block of foliage towering over the delicate wagon is great. The deep greens show up well against the snow as well. Lucky kids!

Comment from Papa


LowRider, I love your notes! And, this is an excellent photograph of another very worthy subject matter. The setting of the little cottage is beautiful, and your image records that very well indeed. I see the photograph as being somewhat overexposed, however, and the objects too widespread, physically. Still, an excellent image.
Peace, Papa
