Wonderful capture!!!! Perfect lighting, perfect expressions on the subjects and the action going on in this shot is sweet and endearing. Love the capture of the expressions and actions of these two cute boys/brothers hugging. I do recommend that the framing be tigther focused on these two boys who are your main subjects and less on the background which is not as appealing.

This is wonderful with the graffiti background. Very urban. The clarity is great. I'd have liked the title to not have the word "celebration" in it, but that's just me. I'd have just left it at "Brotherhood." Great image though.

Greetings from the Critique Club

The silk rose on a pink background is certainly an appropriate subject for a Greeting Card.

I have a couple of suggestions for this image. First, the pink shade you chose (imo) is just a touch strong; you might try muting it. Also, if the rose was further away from the background, you would stand a better chance of eliminating the shadows. Then, compositionally, if the rose was placed more to the left of the frame it would keep the viewer in the picture longer.

Finally, my camera club judges always stress the importance of "border patrol." That would take care of that partial leaf in the lower section of the image. (I always seem to see that stuff after the image has been submitted.)

I wish you the best of luck in future Challenges!
