Very nice landscape. I think if she were positioned more or even if you had cropped more to put her in the bottom right quadrant for the rule of thirds, it would have added more to this shot.
I was trying to decide if this was Ecola or not. That might be Seal Rock and it might not. Nice capture though. Doesn't make me feel "motherhood" too much, but that just keeps you from the very top scores. 6
I really like the composition of this photo. You have cropped it very well. The one thing that bothers me is that on the hill and your mother the contrast is very high and the exposure is dark, and for the ocean and rocks, the contrast is very low. Maybe this was on purpose to draw more focus to the lower right hand corner of the image? Either way, there is something very peaceful about this picture. Great job.
I'm sorry but without the title this says nothing to *me* about motherhood. The theme of the challenge should be recognizable without a title, in my opinion. You know this to be your mother but from the subect's distance from the lens I find it hard to tell if this is a man or a woman let alone a mother. This says more to me about solitude or mankinds' puniness in relationship to his natural enviroment than motherhood. Outside the confines of the challenge I enjoy this photo quite a bit. It shows a good eye for composition and I like that you can't tell the gender of the solitary figure in the distance. This makes it very universal (outside the challenge theme, of course).
