As others have said, great job framing this photo.. each section of the frame has an interesting image - really like your pp on this - you have the pure whites, the pure blacks and every gray in-between - well done.

This is my fav out of the shots you posted.. the colors are so pleasing, the blues calming - the mother is wearing an expression that all mothers can relate to.. tired after a long day of making her little cowboy happy, holding tight to his little hands, keeping him safe in spite of her weariness.. he is being a typical little boy, oblivious and content.. nicely done.

I agree, the car was an added bonus.. looks quite ethereal

I like the desat too .. and the slight softness could have been intentional if you hadn't mentioned it.

Hope you start feeling better soon - this is a good looking photo - good crop - decent of you to remove his blemishes :)

I agree with Germaine.. indeed nice job stopping the action.. and I too wish it were a bit brighter.. one of the reasons for that is because you did such a great job stopping the birds that I just know there would be wonderful detail in their wings..I nearly missed the bird in front of the woman - looks like it might be a near perfect silhouette and having her clothes a bit brighter would frame it more effectively.

Great expressions on their faces.. the exposures on the adults is really good..and I doubt there was anything interesting going on in the sky so ... ended well.. great glimpse into your neighborhood

Thank you Maggye, I won't tell you how much I just love the B&W processing now (grin) Like the others have said, the motion blur works great on this shot.
