A rather artistic use of negative space. The expression is curious with great lighting. An exceptionally interesting portfolio but most important a keen eye.

Interesting perspective, the B&W makes this more attractive.

It's amazing how when sometimes you break the rules it works. You don't follow the rule of thirds. The centerline of the image matches the heads of your subjects almost exactly. You don't have any leading lines. You're frame is almost empty. You have a great amount of 'bald headed' sky. You're slightly oversharpened causing slight haloing around all the dark areas. It's basically a snapshot. However it moves the viewer enough to bring you a win.

Congrats on the first ribbon, a blue even!

Aside from its obviously beautiful color, really excellent tonal values (note the not-quite-ilhouettes, rich in shadow detail), and strong sense of "family at play", there's another aspect of this image that's enthralling, and this is the sense of "altered scale".

Note how all the image elements are essentially on a single visual plane, and how the tree is the same visual size as dad. Note the "person-sized" cloud drifting gently off to the right, as if towards tomorrow's future.

The more I look at this image the more I like it. I honestly feel that in a "real world" sense this is one of the better images ever to ribbon in DPC. It's intensely human and superbly metaphorical.

Again, congratulations!
