I don't know, I like to see her legs and tippy-toes. I'm flat-out amazed at her posse and balance. She threw straight into this pose and looked like she could hold it for hours.

Hadn't spotted you'd taken the Blue. Very well made. Always good to see your images on top.

Awarded for the September 2013 Free Study, for the reasons identified below.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is my only 10 - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. The pan-generational contrast between your dad and daughter.
2. The magic trick of having got this depth of field indoors in natural light.
3. The implicit presence of the TV.
4. The fantastic placement of the mug - domesticating the context so thoroughly.
5. The light, especially how it plays across your dad's face.
6. The overall documentary feel of the image.

Clive, this is superb.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Great sense of speed.
2. The highly structured blur.
3. Excellent tones.
4. The sense of falling forwards - madly unbalanced and slightly frantic feel.

Effective work.

1. The cinematic feel this has.
2. The centrality of the flare to the composition and impact of the image.
3. The green hue.
4. The mystery of the figures.
5. The red 'painting' of the coat (top-right) by the sun.

So interesting.

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. In-your-face vibrancy without being overkill.
2. A sense of a moment captured - the fleeting frozen.
3. The speed with which in brings a smile to the face.
4. The communication of a sense of warmth - makes me want to walk into the picture.
5. The low POV.
6. The quirky character.

A feel-good photo.

1. Bold-as-you-like posing.
2. It's superbly lit and exposed.
3. The softness of the artefacts.
4. The oddness of the scene.

I like unusual portraits - and this is a great one.
