a little light on the ghost exposures maybe but I like how the change in position ties in with the title.

More focus, more contrast, less border :) 6

I love this portrait Jason! This is so delightful. One that will be treasured when this dumb challenge is loooong forgotten.

I think if this had a little more light on the faces, and maybe a little dodging to bring out the eyes, this would have been a front pager!!!!!

man .. this is excellent ... just love those expressions .. i'm on greg's laptop and its soooooo slow ... it took like half an hour for this image to open ... (slight exaggeration!!) so the excellence of this image was revealed very gradually ...
as it opened i was first drawn by the hair so highlighted by the sun .. then the forheads ... and then the glasses and the eyes .. i was starting to really really like this photograph jason .. then the piece de resistance (dont know the spelling!) was their absolutely fantastic smiles ..
this is a definite wow .. it's just wonderful .. wot i really like along with all the other positive things i've said, is that they look so totally natural .. its not as if they have their father in their face once again with his bloody camera !!!! .. its like they're sharing an excellent joke with me!!! ... a total winner and totally perfect .. the score is no gauge as to how excellent this is .. once again the voters have no idea in this case .. when they actually give us a high score, then of course they are totally right .. :)

been there done that...Very nice presentation. Powerful message, and as someone who is a recovered alcoholic it hit home with me. Very good work! 10

Oh you were right Jason. This should have scored much higher! What a cute idea for this challenge. What a bunch of unappreciative voters :)

I like the pose and the expressions.....the lighting is just a bit off
