I know you probably already know this, but the sun needs to be on the third rule, nevermind that. Love the story it gives off, colors are great, the process looks great, you are right there. A little more focus, and the thirds rule being applied, and this is a top 10er. great job.
Great shot, love this because it portraits sunset or rise with the sun visible on the horizon. I may be wrong but it seems there is a slight tilt which might distract some voters.
I love the subject and the family type moment. It reminds me of my own kids =)
To be overly critical, what keeps it from getting a higher score from me is that the subject feels a bit distant form me. As if I'm looking down. I'd like to be closer - to be more in line with what they are seeing. More drama maybe.
