Part of the crowd watching the Phildelphia Mummers New Years Day Parade. She and her husband and two very young children stood next to me long enought for me to take this single shot of her. I was struck by the naturalness of her face...beautiful and motherly...And the pink hat and scarf against the natural colors of her coat and faux fur collar brighten her up a bit, I think. I called her little because she came up to about my chest, and I am not tall...her husband to my shoulder...that's his dark jacket that provides a very nice, uncumbered background for his wife.

I'm sorry, without the title I really don't get the sense of "Mother" from this portrait. She looks very nice but what is going on to indicate motherliness? The photo should say it without the title, IMO.
