This is a nice family photo, but compared to other celebration entries in the challenge, it doesn't hold my attention as well. I think perhaps because the three foreground people all have their backs to the viewer. had you taken this from the other side where I could see their expressions, I probably would have scored it higher.
Family and good times are certainly valid reasons for celebration. However, there are a lot of problems with this shot imho. The background is quite busy. I really think this should have been shot from the front of the people, adding their faces and thus providing of a personal element imho. The lady at the side looks removed from the group -- its difficult to tell if she is meant to be in the shot or another tourist. Don't give up, keep trying and you will see improvement.
allthough i see it is YOUR reason to celebrate, taking a picture of the back of someones head and giving the title such a huge long name signifies an attempt for brown but im not convinced because the picture is large and clear and sharp. so i offer this advice...
stand where the lady is standing then you would get a more interesting shot .
faces are more interesting than backs. i would be interested to see this shot taken from the opposite angle, so the viewer could concentrate on the faces instead of the busy background.
what is the subject of this photo? the background is so busy I can't tell what is going on, and the people in the foreground are facing the other way. 1
