The scale and lines are awesome in this pic. I like how the sculpture and and woman are going opposite directions, and the stairs lead up to the right and the railing leads down. Great pic.

Mum and her new baby will be friends for life

Image is too dark. Hard to see mum n baby. They blend in to the back ground. Mum n babe are too small, they get lost in the image. The extreme tilt doesn't help IMO. The processing looks overly done.

Nice shot. I think it would have been stronger if the boy in back was looking at the camera. I like the choice to go B&W.

Focus seem just a bit soft, but nice shot other wise.

Friends onto something!

Nice shot. However, the image seems more focused at the closer boy's elbow, so both the boy's faces appear soft on my screen. Might want to check where the camera is focusing next time. Some fill light would have helped to illuminate the dark side of their faces. Just an honest critique.

I think it would have helped if the couple were a bigger part of the image. Also the tilt detracts. Nice idea, nice capture.

Just like the old days...

I like the idea of the adults/friends playing on the swing. The person on the swing is nicely focused. B&W is a nice choice. However, what detracts from the image are 1. the swing chain going through the center of the gal in the back, 2. the guy in the back should either be fully cropped out or fully included. So maybe position the people better next time and watch the timing so that the chain doesn't block the people. The DOF is fine, I think the two in the background are fine either way (focused or slightly blurred.) Nice attempt.

I like the POV. The blur works well... conveys the group of friends having a good time.

Perfect subjects. The subjects in silhouette are fits the setting nicely. Nice rule of thirds, colors are nice and warm. Well done.
