**Critique Club**

What a pleasure is it to get a photo of this caliber for a critique. To me this says "Hallmark moment" and is worthy of using in any advertisement for family activities.

The composition for this photo is perfect! It is well balanced and the family members are all shown to perfection.

Technically you are aware (from your comments) that the snow colour is off. If you are using photoshop, by using selective colours, you can tone down the blue tinting of the white.

Againt i think this is a wonder photo!!

Congrats on the top 20 finish!

I looked at this a long time to decide whether I liked the cables in foreground or not. In the end, I decided they distracted me more than they enhanced the image for me. Regardless, it's a good shot the meets the challenge very well. 6

I really like the shot puzzled. didn't have much time to vote, but right now I really think I underrated your photo (6, sorry...)

the focus is perfect, the colors are very bright and right, and it truly says mother to me!

congrats on your high score & place, well deserved!

Thanks for all the comments made during the challenge. I was shocked that this did so well, because, well ... I just didn't think it had anything too special and the snow is blue :-) But I'm thrilled to have this top score and bump my older disasters down a little from my profile page.

Daniel, Paul, Sandy, and Judy: I especially want you to know how much I loved seeing these congratulatory notes from you four. What a bunch of sweethearts. Someday, I'll submit something truly worthy of your talents. Thanks again.
