		| | Hmm, impressive picture. The smaller one looks just like the bigger one a few years ago. That's what people have said about my younger brother an I. I think their feet should be in the shot, though. (6)

		| | Really nice shot, great light.  The image looks more sepia than black and white though.  If it's truely black and white, please advise and I will have my monitor reprofiled |

		| | Excellent portraiture - I'm sure the family of these two boys would love to have this presented in their home.  As a portrait, it couldn't be improved on in any way I can think of. |

		| | Great portrait, love the expressions and the overall mood! I would have scored it even higher if the feet were in, can't go wrong with little toes in the water :) Cute kids |

		| | Some fantastic brownish toning here.  The light is wonderful...I only wish you had taken the picture with their feet in it. |

		| | beautifully done! Someone will certainly treasure this forever. Personally I'ld like to have seen their feet...I think. |

		| | Lens quality showing through here! Nice composition, light angles and balance. Contrast level troubling on the two boy's shorts and legs. 9. Good luck! |

		| | screw the anti-duotone people.  I LIKE IT!  I'd add at least one full point to the score you're getting, and that's what it *should* have received, but the anal-ysts will mark you down i'm sure. I love this image.  great directional lighting from the sun - you positioned them just right in my opinion.  I'd prefer if the crop were tighter, or if the boys weren't right in the middle of the frame; I figure if you want the surroundings in the frame - give them the chance to shine.  If you *don't* want them in...crop 'em out.  just my opinion.  really like the shot.

		| | Would be better with their feet not cut off. Otherwise nice! |

		| | The fact that you cut off their feet kindof ruins it for me personally, either I would have liked to see a wider shot with the feet in the picture or a much tighter crop, maybe waist up.  Good shot though, good lighting used. |
