My two littlest sisters out picking flowers in our backyard/field behind our house. (It's really too big and overgrown to call a "yard," but w/e...)
Not expecting it to do too well, but I've been trying to submit to at least one challenge a week lately, and sports just didn't inspire me.
PP:
cropped, converted to b&w, upped contrast a tad, added unsharp mask.

Nice yard, when I grow up and have a home I'm going to plan dandelions everywhere because I like them. I hope they spread to my neighbours lawn and then they get mad. I will then paint my house in a rainbow of different colors but put hidden messages in it only I can find and chuckle to myself about.
Oh yes, your picture...
Ever try a tritone? I can see this as a nice goldeny or even pinkish one, it would give it more of an edge over normal black and white. I also would like to see the little girls not so center, if they were more to the side then they would have better impact and pop out more against such a huge field of lovely overgrowness.
Nice photo of two children in the field. I think the bottom could have been cropped closer to get rid of the OOF portion. Other than your title there is nothing that connects this, for me anyway, to family. Just two kids in a field. It is not even clear, without close scutiny, that either one is picking flowers let alone picking flowers for mommy. Perhaps if mommy was in the shot it would help.
I love the fact that it's not in colour. also the fact that the blurred flowers lead your eyes to the girls and they in turn lead you to the end of the picture. nicely done
