Too much shadows and contrast on the picture.

Am I supposed to be looking at the tree or the chair? If the chair then this isn't with the theme, if the tree, then get rid of the chair. This is a cool looking tree I'm sure you could have got a better shot, especially without the chair.

Very well done in meeting the challenge, as it really looks like impressionism to me. All technicals seem fine and the subject is well placed and posed. I'm not sure why it doesn't have more impact on my though. 7

Edit to add, looking at the thumbnail and going back to review I think it is the overall contrast that keeps the photo from impacting me more. Not changing my vote though because I do like it.

The texture is too heavy for me. Nice framing.

This is bordering on something great. The reflection is just perfect! But the subjects appear to be a little out of focus and the highlights are a little blown out. I'm still not sure where the final score will end up, but shows a lot of potential.

Looks like Seattle's locks. Nice capture. The essence of parental teaching...

Those kind of shots are hard to do - I've tried myself. But they do make good memories, don't they? While I like the idea and the concept, it is distrating to me that the lady and the little boy are overexposed and not quite in focus.
