not so sure... looking at this pic i ask myself what do i see.... maybe a baby carry cot? some socks? not sure. lovely sky and colors, but rethink your point of shoot and show where family comes into this pic. at this moment i must strain myself to see some resemblance of people back there... sorry if i sound critical, it is my wish to show you the way i see it so that next time you will think about 'how it will be seen by others' and take it from a more critcal point of view..

really difficult for me to see how this fit in this challenge. give you full credit, however for a brilliant photograph.

Comment:
proud father?;-) good shot. background a tad distracting and i think a shallower dof would have helped.

"Oh... To be Home Again..."

bet you do not get a good response as this may not be what many see as 'family' per se. Give you credit for thinking creatively, and for using a title to support your thinking.

nice idea but the grass is not the ideal background. love the little brown shoes most... shows a lot of true character.

Comment:
strange crop... or you should have filled the empty rack with another one. here i would think 'less is more', meaning if you had only the top 2 in your pic with good use of dof, you surely would have had a better response.

Sunday Afternoon on the Boardwalk

a very special moment captured on 'film'. a shallow dof will help to improve this pic by eliminating a somewhat distracting background.
