LinMalAngComment: I wish to nitpick, though it won't cost you in the scoring department. The border is totally unnecessary. And if Garry shot medium format (i.e. square frames) I'd love to see that work. It's a cute candid shot, one I would have taken myself, but if it started with Garry it ended up leaving him far behind.
ETA: I've thought about this one some more. Really, my main nitpick is the border. I dislike them in general, but in this case I feel it turns the moment into a memento. There's nothing wrong with that; I'd love to see a series of these, all presented as such. For this challenge, though, I just felt it was a bit out of character.
The border also calls attention to the square frame, which I otherwise might not have commented on. Do we really care if Garry shot square frames? Well, I do, but it's an academic interest; one can channel Garry's inspiration through any shape frame they like. This is good -- quirky and humorous and nostalgic even (the latter I attribute to the girl's jumper and haircut which feel very 70's).
An eight for listening to me ramble.
