Great idea for a family photograph -- and composed very well. I don't know if the title is for real -- but if it is -- Please do. . . he is so worth it! :)

A good picture, which conveys lots of emotion. And made even more poignant by the title. Good job 8

Sweet image. I like the child being OOF in the BG. Nicely composed and captured.

Wow! Nice emotive feel here. Makes me wonder if the point is that he is the only reason you 2 are still together or that you work on keeping it together because of him?

Being a child of divorced parents, I can safely say that your title is going to cause a little bit of uproar with certain people. Doing just that can often harm the children of a failing marriage more than accepting that it won't work... but then, sometimes not giving in and really working at it can benefit in the end too. I certainly hope the latter applies here. A touching shot, slightly over-exposed, but rare on this sheepdom we call DPC. Refreshing.

your title, and photo say the sad truth about many marriages today - only in place for the sake of the child instead of being in place from devotion to one another.
I like the DOF. The skin tone on the hands looks a little washed out
