First off this is a very good photo, I think it would have done much better if it was in a different category, obviously by your comments this did not fit into travel.
Composition - though this isn't classical composition I think it comes off very nicely. I really think it is a very appealing photo to the eye...Especially that the girl on the right is just a tad bit higher up, helps it.
Exposure - the exposure here is excellent... very nice job with that
Color - the color here is great, I love how the blue background they are on brings out the color of their eyes. It's really cute. Also the way the pinks in their shirts match is great as well.
Focus - no complaints here
Background - nice that you have them with a solid background, this would not have worked if the sheet (?) had flowers or stripes or something.
Lighting - excellent even lighting, no shadows, nice job on that.
Fit for the challenge - this is where you lost points, with DPCers you have to make sure it's obvious to people how it fits the challenge... As I said before this would have done better in a different challenge.
Wowability - the cuteness of the two girls, and the looks on their faces really catches the viewers attention.
Overall I think you came up with a nice photo. Definitely a keeper for the family album ;-)
Cute photo but don't see that it has anything to do with travel, unless they're screeming because Santa is traveling. They are precious and the score is not taking anything away from your photography abilities. I just don't see it fitting the challenge in any way. Sorry. 5 PTL The girls are exceptional models and the portrait is exceptional. The expressions are worth a million dollars. Everything about the photo is top notch, except for meeting the challenge. I hope you understand.
Wvery traveller will see the relavence of this to the travel subject! Only, it looks like happy screaming, not the irritated, upset, or willful screaming of children on planes and trains that we all know and love.
