I think this might have more impact if the crop had been tighter on the hands and feet. Loosing the arm across the top. -- it's a distraction.

The composition of the hands and feet are really great. I am distracted by the childs hand and arm in the top right and wish you had been able to shoot it without the in the frame. maybe a mini black, dark back drop over the childs torso would have done.

hate the fram because it draws attension away from the subject.
try more neutral fram if you want to have it.
Good exposure and compostion.

I am distracted by what appears to be the baby's hand in the background. Otherwise, nice shot.

A simple enough topic, but you tackled it tremendously well! I like the way you did this without any distractions in the background, and the skin tones are supurb. A 10 from me!

nicely done as a black and white image. had this been an advanced editting challenge, I would have recommended removing the baby's hand in the top corner of the frame because I think the mother cradling the feet is really a strong image and doesn't need the competiton. I also think the frame border competes for my attention. It's a great image. Let it stand on its own without the extraneous elements.

I like the focus on the feet in the center of the image. It pulls you into the picture. However, I feel the beveled border pulls the eye back out of the image and causes a tension. Overall, very good photo!

Aneat grouping of the hands and feet, the hand and arm on top kinda ruin it for me.

well composed and nicely exposed, the framing dosn't add anything for me but thats only a minor thing - good luck

I'm sure I'm not the first to say something along these lines, but I find the hand in the background distracting. Aside from that though, this is a wonderfully tender image. I'm not sure about the opaque border, I find it distracting as well. Probably because the hands holding the feet are so strong emotionally and visually, the border and extra arm only take away from the impact. Nice.
