Post challenge...
Well, I am glad how well this did. I think what some people failed to realize was that this was a candid portrait, taken in a small village in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest. This village is extremely remote, along the Iriri River, a 1000 mile long tributary of the Xingu River which is a tributary of the Amazon River.

Ohmygoodness. I wish I had gotten to this one before voting time ran out. You would have had 5 10's then. I just love this type of photo. You can just feel the character in that old soul's face -- and the gentle promise on the baby!
This is so beautiful! I'm so glad it got such a strong score!
Two beautiful faces. I'm especially intrigued by the woman...she has a great look and I think cropping closer in for a portrait of her would be awesome!
Great faces. I like how the grandmother's face shows a life lived well and the child's shows innocence and the beginning of his life hopefully lived well too. Warm portrait.
IMO, the huge vignette on the left side towards the lady isn't that much effective as her skin is already rich chocolate brown. The child's side, on one hand, is amazing. I am not sure if that vignetting is from post processing or caused by your lens. Other than that, a good entry. Wish you luck.
