Not real sure of your profession from this shot. It's a very good photo, interest, color, focus, cropping. I especially like the water on the right. To me this just adds something to it. I know you are going to be told it should have been cropped out, technically. But I'm glad you left it in. The grey buildings in the background make the color stand out, and I like the Christmas balls behind them. The photo is a 10 but I don't feel you've meet the challenge. Again I can't figure out your profession, unless it is a human interest reporter. So I must give a 7. Sorry PTL Of course I'm assuming you do work.

Commentary:
This is a great shot in the making. I think the buildings in the background take a way from it. Personally I would have framed it with the subjects a little higher. I realize you were trying to establish a mood with the background but, but I would not worry so much about what is going on behind as what is going on in front. That look on the childs face is Candid and that is what is important. This is a good shot to send to Grandma.
