The picking out of that reverse angled thread is quite impressive. The image as a whole is for me let down by the sudden shift in complexity of the water in the top third of frame, I think. For such a very simple and elegant composition, it really harms the gentle and reflective mood of the scene.

Very natural shot all round - the light, experessions of love - and the composition is great. There's a tangible bridge between you both, formed only by your eyes. As good a reason as any to find a shot for a challenge.

I'm a sucker for soon to be moms (pregnant) and new moms. The love is captured so well in both mom and baby. Great exposure and light. 9

Beautiful portrait- one of my top 15. Wish I could see a little more of the baby's face, because the expression looks like one in a million. The window light was a good choice, but something about the dark shadow on the side of your face looks unnatural (cropping through the cheek would solve most of that). Still very nice. 8
