No, no. The cropped legs are necessary. They become triangles, they go on forever. Of course, I might feel differently if I had neer seen it that way. The color is also necessary. It brings it to life. It's the kind of shot that makes me wonder why I bother.

Ha! Nonsense! I completely agree with a couple of your points - a bit of a lower perspective to include a bit more toes would have been great. One of those things i guess - a split second later and one of the girls would have moved. Not sure about the black and white though i wouldn't want to lose all that lovely orange.

Excellent title. Even the littlest one, so very engaged in whatever she's doing. We suspect a wedding, and everyone is doing their part. I really like this. Thanks for entering it!

One of my favorites. Invites a good long look.

If you were at the limit with your wide angle lens I would have chosen to include more of the feet and less of the empty space above.

So many wonderful things happening here. A lesson in composition. A ten for you.

Great scene and great shot and good processing.
I can see it painted by one of the British painters, Stanley Spencer or Paula Rego or someone like Balthus
I had the first feel that the composition was better without the lamp but I was so wrong; the lamp adds so much to the domesticity of the scene and to the composition lines.

This would have been a GREAT image had you
(a) not lost the toes of the girl in the iddle
(b) processed it in B&W
(c) gotten a little lower to take the shot.
This scene had enormous potential, and you've shown that you have the eye for great situation portraits, or street photography, but there just a few elements that will hurt this image with the general voting public... I do expect you'll probably get some better marks from some quarters of the DPC community though.
So... what am I going to give it... initially, I was thinking a 5 or 6... but looking at it from a different perspective, had you done all those things above, I reckon I'd be giving it a 10, so, I'm thinking somewhere between... so, you're getting an 8 from me.

Incredibly frustrating but true, sad what hope do they have :(

Whatever happened to a good book!

Thanks for documenting true life.
