Only the title, very clever, keeps this from looking like a mistake to me. I think you could have had nice lighting that showed us his doubtless handsome face and still used this idea, especially if you had been able to find a perspective that put the family portrait a bit more above him.

Nicely taken and framed and an excellent idea to represent family.

family shoes
by Lawton

Comment:
Though I usually like things in odd numbers (as here), this grouping is not quite working for me. I would prefer to be able to see the back shoe more distinctly and to have another clearly different show rather than the pair of baby shoes -- unless this family has twins which I am going to assume is the case for the purpose of voting here :) Very nice lighting and tones.

Clever title and image to go with it. I like the grouping and the perspective and for me the lens distortion is working for you here.

Preparing for a feast
by gnoeou

Comment:
Good idea -- the preparation certainly takes way longer than the feast and should be acknowledged, too :) Though it does convey that idea, the image is too cluttered for my taste and I'm not crazy about the "importance" of the window in the composition.

The Sister cAt

Comment:
I like the echo of the second cat and the lighting and focus is in general very nice. I with the front cat's face was a little brighter but with basic editing, I guess you can't do anything about that.

Tender Affection

Comment:
Very sweet moment and I like the composition and back lighting. It works better for me above the trunks where the background is dark -- not as well across the bottom. Nice detail.

Brothers

Wow, do they look alike! Great happy smiles -- this looks like one of those situations where several people were taking pictures and they didn't know where to look LOL Midday light is sooo difficult -- I would look for full shade next time.

Making a wish? Looks as if he is saying "YES!" Nice idea to use just the candle light. I might have cropped the left a lot to take him off center.

Definitely think of family when I see a picnic table and it looks as if maybe you took this in the rain? Too blurry and too much area blown out for me.
