This is a well photographed image with good humor, however, you may find yourself below the 5 mark. Here at DPC many voters will at once vote these images down. For future challenges reconsider the use of figures. best to use your technique for a live subject in this type of challenge. I give you a 6 for your very nice effort.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this. The red distracts so much - my eyes keep going righ to the red, and not to the "baby". The background is distracting as well with all that texture. Also - though I wouldn't say that it DNMC, I don't immediately get "mother" from it.
Bumping up slightly. Originally had this scored very low. On 2nd look it's a very strong concept "with" the aid of the title. A young woman sitting alone in the background of a bedroom as a secondary element would've made it a very powerful image and amongst the best in challenge. Better luck with your next submission.
