To explain my black and white choice: The rocks are red, water is blue, with them out of focus it was an ugly mess. I wanted the home and housed in focus and the rest not, so I opted for a glimmering trail of contrast instead of a blurry color blob.
I like it more from a distance, actually, despite the intimacy of the embrace.

I gave out two 9's in this challenge ... one of them went to this entry of yours. I guess being a parent it was easy to connect to your choice here. The B&W was an excellent decision IMO.
aweeee whoever can not relate a child wrapping their arms around a parent is beyond me. it seems you captured a special moment. Not sure about the black and white seems almost too dark, because the background seems to disappear from me. I am wanting to see what they were looking at.
