I really like what you have done. The only change is I would remove the one of the water and clouds, it does not seem to fit with all the ones of the kid.

I like the shot of the beach and clouds, but i would have put it in the center of the collage.

I agree that it would make the sky pic fit in more if it were in the center of the collage...but I also agree that if you don't move it to the center, it might be best to only have the images of the little boy. Nice work.

what a great idea. I love it. I'd probably say that the one without the child is a little misfitiing also - but still - fantastic. I could see this hanging on a wall somewhere!

Also try lowering your green curve in the last photo.

I didn't know Picasa could do that. I will have to investigate! Thanks for the great idea.
