I agree, pets and kids are cliche, but try to take an almost 2 year old out by yourself to get a portrait
Like this one
Not very easy. Attention span does not allow posing.
If it were film it would never be done. TOO expensive.
and yes I posted the picture, because it is peoples pet peeve. (C;
Love well done kid shots. Like the one above. I have 2 kids one 3 and the other 1. I shoot them a lot, because they are challenging in a non-cooperating, patience trying way, and because they are available, it not like I get much free time away from both of them unless I'm at work and then I have other things to do. Like breaking stuff.
Whining sissies who like to consider their shots high art because it scored poorly, failing to realize their shot is poorly exposed, has no point of interest, is out of focus but claimed to be soft focus, and is an all around crappy shot. Love it too when it comes from artists who have just become artists a month before when they got their camera. Ahhhhh, feel much better now.
You know what subject been overplayed, Wheels, Way to many wheel. For example, that last challenge had way to many wheels sent in... I say about 25 too many. That's just my thought.

You just described my picture in the current challenge.... wait I can't talk about that yet.
Maybe that is the reason why someone took me and my photographs from the favorites list!
I openly criticized few family type snapshots of kids and pets.

I dunno. My pets never like to sit still, but I love photographing in the Zoo just around the corner. And one of the best shots I ever took is from my kid.
