Mom The Taxiby

What a nice presentation you have made here for the Mother Challenge. Good job. I especially like that you chose to show Mother without using a human subject. I belive this adds for depth to the idea of motherhood.
I see from the comment you shot this in very low light. I'd say so, with f/2.8 at 1/40th even at 1600 ISO. Given these numbers, I must give you props on having a steady hand.
Focus is good, especially considering your circumstances. Although DoF may be a little shallow. I'd like to see a little more focus on mom's face... but then again... you were pretty much forced to use a wide aperature.
I love the monochromatic look of this color photo. The many shades of brown is very appealing to my eye and feels very earthy.
Compostion: I feel the compostion could have been improved with a slightly deeper DoF. Mom's face is a major element of this photo, but is a little soft. Not that it is bad. But people tend to want the foremost object to be in focus.
Since you had to shoot at f2.8 focusing on mom's face may have strengthened the composition a bit. But artistically, I see nothing wrong with the way you have it now.
Overall, I see a very nice capture here that fits the challenge well. Good work. Very well done!
Thanks for adding to the beauty on DPC,
Leroy
