I like the idea behind the shot. The daylight seems a bit harsh and things are a bit washed out, so maybe try to shoot earlier in the day when the sunlight isn't quite so intense.

I am sure the family will be happy with this piece. Though not being a member I find the center composition to be a bit blah, as well as the flat colours and the back of the figures. Also because the younger figure is holding the rifle in front and the older in back it distracts from the title because they are not exactly 'like' each other. Sure they are both out walking, I assume hunting but I lose something.

I would have preferred this in portrait orientation to crop out the bright sky and focus more on the guys.

Good subject. I'm sure it was difficult to get the right exposure on this shot.
