7 - Nice and the toning works well here. Good composition and capture on 'Mother's' face. Criticism; mainly the 'blowing' on the Mother's hair, but very difficult I imagine to control, especially using this toning. Perhaps a variation in lighting may have helped. Having said that, it does add a certain element to this shot, but if it were a fraction more subtle, make this even better in my opinion. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop on the right, and more 'baby' on the left (dependent of course what you had to work with) may also have made this even better.

very nice high key effect remaining well in the comfortable zone. Bumping up.

Seems a light blown out on your hair a little bit and a tad too much gray... More contrast would have been nice. But otherwise a lovely photo.

Makes me remember the days... Enjoy them while they last... It passes in a blur.

Comment by GrayGhost:
Nice shadows with 3 light sources, but just too blown out. Probably easily be rescued with level adjustment and slight crop.

Generally speaking, I am not keen on b+w photos, nor on the high key approach. Yet here you have combined both and I love it, it works. Lighting, composition, Mom's facial expression..... everything comes together into one very beautiful photo. 9

Perfect representaion. Gave it an immediate 10. Cant see a thing wrong with this, the lighting, the texture of the hair, placement of the hands and the smile are perfect, if this doesnt ribbon....
