The Sister cAt

Absolutely beautiful cats, lovely colouring. Nice sharpness and bokeh in the shot. The very similar markings/colour of these kitties makes it believeable to me that they are siblings. Lovely shot overall, though the highlights/midtones being bumped a little to brighten the shot a wee bit would have been good.

Tender Affection

This is very sweet, a good interpretation since elephants are known for their familial affection and the great care they take of each other. It bothers me a little that the bottom half light is blown out and the top half is jet black, makes it look a bit odd; nice and sharp though and generally, I like this.

In Every Family Toy Box

Nice and bright, great bold colours and nicely crisp overall. Niggles - the shot doesn't convey family to me at all without the title, plus that line where the light hits the edge of whatever they're sitting on is a bit distracting.

Sisters Twixt Slats

This doesn't portray family for me very well, too much of the subject is obscured by the wooden slats. Were it taken from the other side, it could have been a cute shot of a couple of kids playing/exploring or whatever, which might have put me in mind of sisterly fun. This angle simply doesn't make the shot very interesting, for me personally.

I like the idea, cute kid and the candlelight looks great. My two niggles would be that his hand being out of focus is a bit distracting and the candles look like they're only in a slice of cake, which makes the scene appear a bit false. It may have been set-up for the challenge but a whole cake would have better furthered the illusion. Overall, I do like it, a nice sweet shot.

When They Were Young

I don't normally like sepia, although it works for this shot and the title works well with the image. Those white flowers(?) above the frame on the right grab my eye a bit, I'd have moved those out of the shot before taking it. Is the desk in front of a window screen? The marks on it are a little bit distracting but at the same time, they kind of go with the old-timey feel.

Nice setting and colours, good exposure in the sunglight, nice sharpness on the trees and the little one on the grass; however, the OOF child in the foreground totally grabs my attention away from everything else, which I don't find to be a good thing since she's not in focus (my brain says the main thing in the photo should be in focus, lol.)

A family photo frame

The reflection on the lower half of the 'negative' is a bit annoying as it makes the individual images look partially cloudy but overall, a cool and clever image.

My Life, My Love, My Family

Cute little boy, I really like the lighting on this, it's good that he has catchlights in both eyes. I'm not sure about the composition though; since you can see how wrinkled and sagging the backdrop is, I don't see the point in having the boy off to one side to show that off. A more centred, closer shot of him might have been a better idea with that backdrop, or maybe next time just make sure the material is pulled tightly at all corners to elimate creases as much as possible. A nice shot overall.

The lighting is a bit yellow for my tastes, it's a bit dull also; a more even, brighter light would have improved this I think and helped with sharpness. I'd have cropped out a wee bit too to keep the cap of the Nando's bottle in the shot. The idea made me smile though!
