This is a cute photo and it probably got a few points in the vote for that, but based on the overall score it received, it did not do particularly well overall. Photos of people require something extra special when trying to achieve public accolades. There is nothing in this photo that really draws an outsider into the image. As a viewer, I can't find any particular connection with these people, so I can't really get into the image for more than what it is. This image is technically nice but maybe a half stop or so underexposed.. nice work :)
