Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

I will attempt to critique your image on four basic areas. Keep in mind I'm not a trained professional. ;)

1. Composition: Lovely composition of elements, however, there is a bit of "flatness" as there is no real visible fore, middle, and/or background. Rather one-dimensional, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It looks like a tapestry to me.

2. Technical Details: Your focus seems the tiniest bit soft. Sometimes that's good, when you're wanting a dreamy feel, but other times it's just one more thing the voters will find to drop crucial points off of the score. I think it works OK in this shot, as do most of your commenters.

3. Aesthetics: Very beautiful and emotive. The colors are lovely and rich.

4. Relationship to Challenge: I think it meets the challenge 100%.

Overall, your image has some strong points and some points in which improvements can be made. Keep shooting and submitting and I look forward to your next entry!

Laurie :)

Great family portrait, just the background is a bit distracting, with the tree coming out of her head.
