Ha, my wife thought this looked like our triptych (you can see it in my portfolio). I love the guys fighting in the background. Bumping to 7. Last second bump to 8. This pic rocks...

Very nice composition! Great choice of subject matter! Nice image quality. Very creative! - (originally gave you a 7 but the more I thought about it, I love this shot too much...bumped it up to an 8)

Cutely staged. I have felt that way many times!
Photographer found comment helpful.
01/08/2006 12:35:41 AMPost actions
The idea is there, but it looks too staged - while the high key approach helps to eliminate distractions from the background, it's a liability in this shot since you lose a frame of reference upon which these models are posing (and therefore looks too staged).
Having said that, it's a good, solid entry nonetheless since I think you captured the essence of the theme.

hmmm. Subjects look right at home in the DPC challenge pics. I like the balance of the black shirts worn by both parents. and DOF

Unfortunately I find no realism here- kids don't yell, they always get along with their siblings, and they certainly don't keep crying to momma. I don't know what you're getting at nor what message you're trying to send but I'll go along with it anyway. :D
Great focus, great use of dof, great tonal range, great crop, great layout. Hmmmm - that's only 5 greats. Ooops, there's another. I'll stop now ... very nicely done - excellent photo and excellent depiction of poor mom.
