Beautifully composed, nice use of DOF to isolate the subject, and nice use of soft focus. On the negative side, the brightness of the orange roof is distracting and I personally would have liked to see eyes as they are the gateway to emotion.
Well, what can I say. This title certainly describes the scene and the title is consistent with the challenge. Therefore, it seems this shot is right down the center of this challenge.
I think this shot could have used a shallower depth of field, or some judicious cropping to de-emphasize the background picnicers. I also want to see the subjects more on the right of the image. I have no idea why, I just do. Moving the subjects to the right would have masked the background people and would have moved the baby away from the bright redish roof.
All in all, I really like this photo. Great job. Thanks for sharing it with us.
