Meaningful picture. Just a tad bright on the hands. Otherwise technically well done.

Familys should not stick together for the sake of a child, they should stick together because they love each other and are willing to be there during good times and bad. BUT, my feelings have nothing to do with your picture. I will keep them so myself-couldn't help it-had to type that-sorry. Nice detail in the hands, I wish that either there was no fingernail polish or something with some color. The flesh-tone doesn't flatter your photo. I am going to ignore your title and give you a 6.

Ummm.. I like the idea, but it seems too contrived, given the title and all. I think I'd like it better in black and white - maybe a tad more contrast of that might evoke more of the mood you are looking for.

This is poignant. I suspect very strongly the fingernails are telling us a story. Feel free to confirm (or refute) this by pm, I'm interested.

the lighting is what throws the balance of this picture off.

I was expecting spattered circles of molten chocolate while waiting for this to load. Lost points because Kisses are overdone and lost points because Kisses are really crummy chocolate.

Gained points for seriously good control of focus and DOF.

Nice idea, but lighting is harsh and focus is soft.
