It's back-to-school time, and many of us are watching our little ones, or even not-so-little ones walk out the door. While it's not always school, there are many types of departures where we have to "let go." Take a photo that demonstrates the painful necessity of letting someone or something go. There must be at least one person in the shot though the face does not have to be seen.
Required level: 5+ or higher. Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
kyricom: There are a lot of nice shots here, but A LOT of them are just people standing, walking, sitting etc. and leaving it to some explanation as to why it's "letting go." The theme is the "painful necessity of letting someone or something go." Many of these are just everyday situations, nothing painful about them. ( 5 years and 3398 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I hate to say it but your right. IT does specify painful necessity of letting someone or something go. That beaing the case , most entries are off theme. ( 5 years and 3398 days ago )
Barracuda: I agree with the above comments ( 5 years and 3397 days ago )

This is a cool shot, but I'm not sure how it's painfully "letting go"

Kyricom, picture a child accidentally letting go of their balloon, probably crying as she watched it fly away. I can see that with this image. The pain can still be there, you just have to imagine the rest.
I should just say congrats in advance, but I'll wait
I think it's a really nice shot, as I said in the beginning. But the point is, that with so many (not all) entries in the contest, there needs to be some elaborate description describing how we need to imagine something, or what could be happening, or what something represents, in order to make it be on theme. If you showed many of these entries to a stranger and said, "What does this represent?" They would NOT say anything about "painfully letting go of something," or even words that would imply that. They would say "there's some people walking, or sitting there - or, someone is letting a balloon float away." It is a nice shot, though.
who says that it has to be painful ONLY for a child to let go of a balloon???? I know that I hate when I accidentally let go of a helium balloon and I'm 37!!

So, we're supposed to imagine that a (huge) kid's hand and that they accidently let go?
Kyricom, have you never been there when a kid loses their balloon, the noise is dreadful..........
plus we r all kids at heart.
