Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Jon...

I think I summed up my opinion on this photo in my original comment. The composition and idea behind this photograph are both excellent. It's just something about the hands looking dirty to me that makes this photo fall. It makes it feel cold and harsh instead of warm and loving, which, by the title, would be my derivation of the theme you are presenting here. It creates a bit of internal conflict in your image.

Happy Birthday!

Hi WildBlue...

Cute pooch here :) He doesn't look particularly surprised though... I think you may have suffered in the challenge because of that.

In the future, you should include your exposure settings and your own thoughts and ideas in the photographer's comments box if you want to request CC critiques :)

nice work with the soft focus... the composition could possibly be stronger if some of her face was visible.

This is a nice night shot. I like the reflections. I think it would be stronger if your horizon was higher in the frame as well.
