Very lush. This reminds me of an e301 landscape (it's a good thing). Subtle colors but very detailed even at such small dimensions. 10

Treasured moments. I like the soft focus and vignette.

Mooooommmm! MOM! moooommm

The idea is there, but it looks too staged - while the high key approach helps to eliminate distractions from the background, it's a liability in this shot since you lose a frame of reference upon which these models are posing (and therefore looks too staged).

Having said that, it's a good, solid entry nonetheless since I think you captured the essence of the theme.

Good humorous entry. Facial expressions are very natural from the mischeviousness of the baby to the exasperation portrayed by the mother.

A picture is worth a thousand words - so true. Technically the image could be a hair sharper but this captures the essence of this challenge. Well done.
