The angle of the shot is a little distracting.. It would have been nice to better capture the kiss. And is that vignetting from your lens or intentional?

Some Have Some While Some Have No

Beautiful scene! However, the downside is that I find the image doesn't convey the idea of family strongly.

Exposure, focus, DOF, contrast are all perfect though!

Good idea, but too much front focus...

I love the emotion in your pose! The dark background line on the right is somewhat distracting though.

I find the subject's face too blurry (yet her shirt seems fairly sharp). If this is because of camera shake, stopping down would have been better, and if not possible, increasing film sensitivity.

Too much of something can be a bad thing. I find the contrast excessive in this case. Is it because the image was initially over-exposed?

I also wonder he effect my have been more dramatic if you also cropped out half of the face instead of part of one eye.

I find it distracting the way your arms are set. It doesn't seem natural and is a cause for distraction (e.g. your right arm leaning on the chair and our left arm not seeming to know where it should be. Your arms are not conveying the same message as your head and body.

The other distraction is the cropping of the feet.

That being said, exposure, dof, lighting, contrast, and all the technical aspects of the photo are spot on in my opinion.

The burning tool is used a little too abusively for my taste. I like the subject and composition though.

Grrr.... Why couldn't I come up with a good idea for this challenge?!
