(Please Vote) Family "Childhood" Off

[Graham Trueman]

Last week @natsnell destroyed me with his digital witchcraft in the "Orange 12" off making it 2:2 at the moment.

Araminta (@araminta), came up with this weeks theme of Childhood and has some great portraits of her kids.

So to the voting!

Nats image of his three year old son being forced to do the gardening.



My image of our soon to be born child's (was due on Tuesday) toys it the cot. The DOF is meant to show a child wanting a toy!



Thank you all for checking this out and remember the first person to vote gets to pick the next challenge.

@sarabeth_photo Thank you for voting, you now have the honour of picking the next topic.

[Juliette Packham]

Graham's this week - wishing you well for the new arrival

[Sarabeth]

@mrgtrueman I choose "Opposites" as the next family-off. :)

[Graham Trueman]

@sarabeth_photo thank you for another interesting topic. I hope that we can do it justice.

[Paula]

Nat's. Although I like how you tried to slant the odds in your favour by suggesting enforced child labour, lol

I decided to ask an expert on this one. My 4 year old son said he prefers Nat's shot because the little boy is digging and digging is fun! LOL!

[Kelsey Schmitt]

Graham's!

I'm going with Graham's this week . . . congratulations on your impending arrival! Parenthood truly is the best.

[Amber D]

[Geertje K.]

Nat's, but Graham, you would have won with a picture of your soon-to-be kid!

[Loose Images]

Nat's

[Janna E.]

Graham's. But Nat's is very cute, too.

[Araminta]

I'm impressed with the interpretations. Graham, I didn't realise you were expecting a little someone! it would have been great if they had come skin side for Daddies 'photooff' but these naughty babies have a knack in making us wait! I hope it all goes well and can't wait for snuggly newborn pics : )

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Nat gets my competition vote. Graham gets the sympathy vote because Nat had a head start :-) All good wishes to you and your soon-to-be more numerous family, Graham.

[Julie]

This week I'm voting for Grahams.

[Carly]

Nats but I love Grahams too :)

[Graham Harcombe]

Nat's this time. :-)

[Rachael]

Sorry Graham, but Nat wins my vote this time. It was a bit unfair though since you don't have a child...yet! Hope baby arrives soon.

[Kate Klinck]

Graham's :o)

[Kathy A]

Grahams and fingers crossed junior arrives soon.

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

Grahams

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

Graham, it reminds me of the clay mation Christmas tv specials in America from the 1960's

[Molly Pankok]

nat's!

[Amy]

Graham's... and not because of his spin to make it look like Nat is violating child labor laws... LOL.

[Emily Hoffman]

Graham's!

[Graham Trueman]

Thankyou all for voting. The current standings are:

Nat 17
Graham 16

Another close week please feel free to comment on why you like the photo as we are both looking for ways to improve.

[Nat]

@pwallis @sarabeth_photo @pprmntmochamama @mrgtrueman
Looks to me that he tried to tip the odds twice there, once with child labor then followed up with sympathy for his impeding bundle of joy.

I would never stoop so low myself ;-) Shame on you Graham.

[Nat]

@positronicmommy Your son has impeccable taste.

[Jai Johns]

Graham's :)

[Amy]

@mrgtrueman @natsnell ~ Y'all are so funny. I love your little "rivalry" on here. The reason for me choosing Graham's photo was because of the softness and color palette. I'm always a sucker for Nat's subject matter he used but today I am just drawn to Graham's interpretation... although he did put his finger on the scale twice there, Nat, you're right... lol.

Well done both of you.

[Nat]

@geertje I'm also sure Graham would have won with a photo of his newly born and I would have been more than happy to lose.
I can't wait to meet him/her (will soon find out).

[Jenny Hise]

Graham's pic :)

[Graham Trueman]

@natsnell I have no idea what you mean! I always play fair ;-)

[Tania L]

Current standing? Is voting over? Sorry, I vote for Nat - child labour is always good to catch on camera. hee hee

[Peggy Sirk]

Graham's photo...because of the excitement over the impending arrival of the little one. :)

[Kylie Martin]

i'm a sucker for bears so 2 gets my vote lol

[Jen Dee]

Tough one, but I have to vote for the "child labor" from Nat only because I support it in my own house;)

[Nat]

@scrapnyak
Current standings:
Nat 19
Graham 20
Although Peggy (@peggysirk) is testament to Graham's cry for sympathy and Tania (@scrapnyak) and Jen (@jendee3) prove that it can also backfire on you.

I think we should leave it running until I'm winning then declare it ;-)

[Tania L]

@natsnell when's the final count? haha

[Graham Trueman]

@scrapnyak I think it is over now as I'm winning! @natsnell do you agree?

[Nat]

Yeah, I suppose so.

Well done Graham your photo and hypnosis has gain you a point this week.

Overall score 3:2 to Graham.

Now I have to think extra hard about "Opposites".

[Sheila M Chin]

Graham's for the anticipation and whats to come!

[Kimberly Doerr]

I am going to go with Graham's.... I love the DOF, and the excitement of the new bundle. Congrats... :)
