I like the idea, nice alternative take on the theme. Countless generation of patriarchs, each one with their own personal silver spoon?
Bumping this to 8.

The Gansah Mishpucheh

I like the perspective leading to the patriarch, and how him and the old lady look distinctively unconcerned about the photograph being taken.
I am a bit unsure about the bottle in the obstructing the view, was it deliberate?
An higher angle, perhaps from over a chair, would have also given an interesting perspective and perhaps improved DOF at that aperture.

Love her expression and connection with the photographer. I am not sure if the soft focus adds or detracts a bit, but then I am unsure which of the two is the main subject, so it probably creates a connection between the two.

Football match? Very true, great capture :)

An Occasional Silly Kiss
by dahlin

Cheerful shot. The rimlight on his left side, along with the flat lighting, gives the strange impression that she is kissing a cardboard outline (now I have been staring at it for two minutes and started wondering whether that might actually be the case, a pretty good illusion :)

Daughter(Subject)+Dad(Photographer)=Family Time

Beautiful model, uhh, daughter and nice black and white. Actually, seeing this shot made me think of how one could make the concept more explicit. Including yourself into the frame busy fiddlign with a large format, while your inlaws point to their swatch and the nearby restaurant would have probably worked well :) I might have seen something like that with younger kids pulling dad's sleeve for attention.

Farmville

Framing and composition are both pretty good, with the two curved shapes framing the animals and the grid not hiding their eyes. Personally, I don't feel the image connects strongly to the idea of family, as sheeps and goats tend to form a pack all the time anyway, but others might feel differently. Perhaps including a young one and/or a very old one would have made for a stronger hint to the idea of family ties. But, again, that's just me.

Leaving the nest.. alone? :) Nice pun.

When They Were Young

I liked the concept but, perhaps because of the lighting, perhaps because of type of photographs, I found it difficult to decypher what the framed images are about. So the connection with the idea of family is a bit lost on me.
