This is my favorite of this speed challenge. The lighting is the bomb. The focus is perfect. The expressions (lack there-of) priceless. Negative space imperitive. I even like the border. If this ain't a ribbon...

Maybe if your Mum was sitting up a little higher so that both of their necklines were visable? Nice use of empty negative spave and B&W. Your Dad looks comfortable doing this, your Mum doesn't though. (My Mum would never dream of getting her photo done like this...) 8
This is a geart idea but it doesn't quite work for me - perhaps a little less harsh lighting and lower the camera anlge to reduce the negative space a little
Nice photo. The lighting is a little harsh and i can see the detail in the background still, but its an original composition for a portrait, which I like. 8
LOL now this is a funny pose. I love it. I think the set up is fantastic. Your mom's expression is so good. I love them and know I'd like them just by looking at them. Good people. You did this well and I hope this does good in the challenge.
I may be way off base... maybe not, but I predict Konador as the owner of this image! An excellent shot, great lighting, wonderful use of negative space. If those expressions don't indicate that they are parents of a teenage boy, then I give up!! Good luck in the challenge... I give it a 9! JD
