Mum and Dad's afternoon snooze

I gave this a 7. I like the wide angle view, the way their arms are unconsciously mimicking each other's positions says a lot about their familiarity and how long this couple has been together. I like their glasses and the bit of remote peaking out from behind Dad. It is a cozy scene and conjures up warm and affectionate feelings toward this couple in a way that is not easy to evoke for the unbiased viewer. I wish I had scored higher but their were so many in this challenge and I never got a chance to vote on them all, let alone go back and revise the way I like to.
I disagree wholeheartedly with espy that it was easy to capture. If you had come along earlier, their arms might not have been in the same position, or they might not have had their heads positioned conveniently to include both of their sleeping expressions.

To me the somewhat blown out grass and bike frame in the foreground detracts from the rest of the image.

This is fun - I like that you've got so close, gives some impact. It would have been nice not to have lost the highlights, particularly on mother's face - see where you can't see the arm of her glasses? It's often helpful to under-expose as a default setting to avoid those things.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Oh, they must love you! LOL....If only they were drooling. :) Ok, well, anyway, I like the tones in b/w conversion. It's a good candid, but also one easily obtainable to me. Not that hard when you know they won't see you coming. It's a 5 for me.

I like the simplicity of this. I initially thought I was looking at the dome roof of a building.
