what a moment you captured here! hope you're getting some good comments and suggestions, and this you're not getting overlooked in this monster challenge. one suggestion i'd make would be to select all the background and burn it out, leaving nothing by your subject to focus on. you might also consider burning out some of the highlights on the subjects' heads. you've got a great starting point, and with some effort, look to be setting yourself up for a great year! good luck!

what a moment you have captured here. if this isn't getting the scores or comments you expected, please don't take it personally--just look at it as a starting point for the rest of the year! this site is a great place to learn, and your family will really appreciate what you will be able to do with your camera. but, as i am sure you are seeing, it can be fairly rough starting out. just keep on shooting, keep on submitting, and DO NOT QUIT!!!

nice job framing your subject. too bad about the blowouts on the side, though. sometimes you can rescue them in post-processing, sometimes you're stuck. hope you're getting some good comments and suggestions, and this you're not getting overlooked in this monster challenge. good luck!
