Not to be harsh but this doesn't do anything for me. The highlights are distracting and the crop doesn't make this any more appealing. Maybe if there was an arrangement of photos showing different generations it might have a stronger impact.
This has an interesting sense to it. The crop seems to tight. Maybe pull out a bit and show more of the pendant. The focus is good and the use of negative space is ok, but I'd like to see a bit more of it.
I like the composition and the colors. Family is indeed a source of pride. If the highlights from the flash were less harsh and maybe a bit sharper on the edges of the frame, I would have scored this higher. Again though, nicely done in my opinion.
