Dad creates his own "missing link"

Comment by posthumous:
I love this tableau. A great diagonal composition highlights the dramatic victim oppressed beneath the cold gazes of his onlookers, which run from indifference to bemusement to downright condemnation. The "missing link" here is empathy. This has all the effectiveness of a scalvert set up, but much more realism, even though we know it isn't real.

Good job dealing with direct overhead light. I'd like to see more of their eyes, though. Their personalities come straight across, I like that you captured both.

The utter lack of interest in those kids almost makes this shot.

I enjoy shots like this, I have been attempting many myself, and find it hard to decide what to focus on and what not to. You displayed an emotive photo here, good job.

Cute, natural capture, shows a real close connection between the subjects. The editing is nice and simple. Some room for improvement might have been to get a little more light on the faces and have her sit up a bit straighter as her head looks kind of cocked up uncomfortably.

The man's expression is quite comical, but quite a bit of work could have been done to make the headline realistic.
