Kristin, you catched a beatiful moment in the photo. It really tells a story. I think it is a great picture and, of course, it is a beatiful candid one. Congrats for the result!

Initial score: 6.
Definitely fits the challenge and it has a nice look to it. The Dad with outstretched arms really fits the title. Although, it doesn't look like the daughter is in much danger (looks like she's jumping up and down). Maybe 'Run to Daddy' would be a better title? Of course, with candids, it isn't like you can control the behavior, that's kind of the point.
Technicals are pretty good, especially the colors. It is a bit on the warm side (more red) but that fits the image because it should be a warm moment. I think it could use more sharpening, unless you were trying to keep it soft for the image. For DPC though, sharpness is important because you can't tell if it was accidental or on purpose.
I feel like the composition could be tightened up. There's a lot of space above their heads (including that fuzzed duck) and to the left of the girl. It might be good to experiment with cropping off the back end of the Dad, that could also give it a more intimate feel. For soft moments, I think tighter crops are better.
It looks like you dodged the background and sides -- that works well. Around the daughter it may have dropped off a little abruptly, it looks a little odd.
I'm not sure about the black border, I feel like it might have been ok without one. Or in this case, maybe the white border with thin black line (to make it look like a snapshot). That may look horrible though...
Yeah, I'll stick with 6. What hurt the image most was the daughter's pose but there is very little you can do about that. With a better crop, it would be a 7 for me easy.

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment. |

| Lovely shot and idea, not too sure if it is my monitor or not but the skin tones of the fathers arms seem a bit blown out. Still a lovely image |

| Exceptional colours for this kind of photo, it gives a wonderful sense of family. It almost feels like an old slide print. |

| This is a great capture. If this shot is not setup, I hope you can find the person in the picture and give them a print of this. It would make a great keepsake for any father. The lighting is a little harsh, but overall nice shot. |
