lovely natural poses and tones. Just a shame the ankles are shopped off

Hmm, impressive picture. The smaller one looks just like the bigger one a few years ago. That's what people have said about my younger brother an I. I think their feet should be in the shot, though. (6)

Really nice shot, great light. The image looks more sepia than black and white though. If it's truely black and white, please advise and I will have my monitor reprofiled

Beautiful shot. Great exposure. The emotion really comes through on this photo.

A little kitsch, and little posed, nice old style black though.

Nice shot, kinda brown and white in my opinion

Excellent portraiture - I'm sure the family of these two boys would love to have this presented in their home. As a portrait, it couldn't be improved on in any way I can think of.

Great portrait, love the expressions and the overall mood! I would have scored it even higher if the feet were in, can't go wrong with little toes in the water :) Cute kids

Some fantastic brownish toning here. The light is wonderful...I only wish you had taken the picture with their feet in it.

beautifully done! Someone will certainly treasure this forever. Personally I'ld like to have seen their feet...I think.

Lens quality showing through here! Nice composition, light angles and balance. Contrast level troubling on the two boy's shorts and legs. 9. Good luck!

screw the anti-duotone people. I LIKE IT! I'd add at least one full point to the score you're getting, and that's what it *should* have received, but the anal-ysts will mark you down i'm sure.
I love this image. great directional lighting from the sun - you positioned them just right in my opinion. I'd prefer if the crop were tighter, or if the boys weren't right in the middle of the frame; I figure if you want the surroundings in the frame - give them the chance to shine. If you *don't* want them in...crop 'em out. just my opinion. really like the shot.

Would be better with their feet not cut off. Otherwise nice!

Works well for me

The fact that you cut off their feet kindof ruins it for me personally, either I would have liked to see a wider shot with the feet in the picture or a much tighter crop, maybe waist up. Good shot though, good lighting used.
