Lot of blown out highlights here and some really harsh shadows to boot. Composition is a bit rough as there's nothing here that grabs your attention. I think the main problem with this photo is it appears to have been shot at a very bright time of day. Another possibility for improvement would be crouching down and getting a good view of the kids face who is carrying the baby. What's that look? Resignation? Distraction? Duty? Whatever it is it would add a lot to this photo by way of giving me something to think about and draw my own conclusions from.

The color is nice, but I don't understand why you couldn't have involved her head in this.

I can't figure out how you decided to crop this picture. I'm guessing there was something just above the head you wanted to exclude badly. I find this cropping to be much too distracting. I wonder what he(or she?) looks like. The colors is great though.

Color on color... there's a lot of color here for sure, but not on the same colored background.

Colors indeed. I'm not sure I'd consider this to be meeting the challenge as it's not really a color on a background of the same color as much as it's just every color and pattern imaginable, everywhere.

From a technical standpoint, this feels something like a crop of a snapshot. The sides have been trimmed very close to the arms, but a spare arm is left in the background. And...the head! Kind of an awkard place to chop off the photo.

Color on Color, not ColorS on ColorS.
