Me as a mother

Generally speaking, I am not keen on b+w photos, nor on the high key approach. Yet here you have combined both and I love it, it works. Lighting, composition, Mom's facial expression..... everything comes together into one very beautiful photo. 9

space amoeba

Thank you very much, Heather and "Macro", for taking the time to comment.
I did try it with more light on the amoeba, but decided that didn't make sense.... something floating out there wouldn't look like that.

I KNEW that the darkness would end up an issue, but it just HAD to be that way *g*, though a more transparent blob could have been interesting!

This is one of those cases where there IS no right and wrong.
I completely respect your opinions and appreciate your time.
It was good to hear your views even though I still like it just the way it is - simply an issue of different personal tastes :-)

Frozen fauna? That is so sad...... where is the poor creature?

I like the lighting on the trees... beautiful mood in this photo, but not the best example for this challenge.

Yup, this looks like city. Nice choice of subject and I"m glad you didn't turn it b&w.

Perhaps a touch on the dark side (I have often suffered the wrath of people who don't see much detail on their monitors), but I like it a lot.
The motion blur vs the static people works very well here.

A different take on it, but it works for me. Nice POV and angle. Good choice of title, too.
