If I find myself staring at a picture for more than a few seconds, I have to stop staring and analyze. This is beautiful! The subject matter - a lot of people take pix of themselves with their children. That isn't unusual, and the parents/kids are usually wonderful. But what is so wonderful about this picture to me are the colors, contrasts, the flowing currents between people and nature, the balance between the layers, the framing. It's beautiful. I think the focus is off in places, and that there might be a little more contrast between the elements in it (it seems too soft to me - maybe softness could have been conveyed only on the human subjects) - but this is awesome and thank you for sharing.

I can't choose between this and one other, this is so beautiful. I'm not qualified technically to offer feedback to you, I've just started recently on photography myself, but this is appealing on so many levels. The title; the composition, colors, contrasts, clarity in appropriate places, sentiment, and theme. Thank you so much for sharing it, I will study it as an example as I move forward in my own art.

This would be a ten in my view if the colors had more depth and the contrasts were more defined. But all I can do is "comment" because I'm just getting started myself, and this is an astonishing photograph, well planned and I could stare at it for quite a while. Thank you for sharing it

tHIS is stunning. Beautiful. Maybe the foreground focus is not perfect? The vingetting is a bit much for my tastes. But otherwise, who am I to say anything about this, an awesome picture and my favorite so far, by far. I'm new to this DP Challenge, so I hope these comments help.

blue moon

Okay so I like this because I know how hard it is to shoot the moon at night with trees in the foreground. You actually were able to capture the foreground lighting really well - better than I was able to. And you did it without horribly overexposing the moon. I would say, do a foreground shot to capture more light and clarity, and then *instantly* snap the moon, also in perfect focus, and at a much faster shutter speed and lower ISO (i.e. 1/250+ and 100 - 200 ISO) while at the same time using an F number between 3.2 and 5.6. But this might take two cameras! Or super Speedo-Gonzales fingers that no one in reality posesses. Thanks for sharing.

I am new to photography and can appreciate how challenging it is to get a good moonshot with clear trees or other things in the foreground. this also has a very nice balance to it

Beautiful! Contrasts, color, composition. The reflections, intimacy caught in silhette.

This is beautiful. I think it fits the pastel theme. Interesting use of negative space, dark instead of light, flows into the pastels and subjects. I'm not sure how else you could have caught the beauty amd mystery of the girls - each one of them doing something different but all connected - by having the background any other way. And this particular story needed to be told. Nice work!
