Thank you for entering your photo to the People II DPChallenge.
Its a great composition idea, showing father and son holding hands. The photo actually reads from left to right for me. The child hands first and the fathers hand second. I don't really see anything wrong with the diagonal approach shot except perhaps a crop, or resize the area closer the sons arm, so that it is perfectly straight across. Then giving it a more balance look from top to bottom.
The photo is lacking some middle image focusing. Where the two hands meet and are joined together. There are probably two approaches that can work. One is the one you presented, and one is a closer crop of the two hands joining. Your approach gives it a lower to upper feel. Where you can see the two generations visiably. A closer more sharper approach would have given a more intimate message.
The other factor here is the sepia type tone to the photo. If I am reading this right it looks almost retro in its nature. I like this but I wish it had a shaper focus. I know that this could be hard to do if you are moving forward. A higher shutter speed could have helped.
Again, good job and good luck in your next DPChallenge. |

| I scored this a 5. I see what you were going for, I think. I was hoping to see faces in this challenge rather than other body parts. The composition & diagonal flow is very nice. |

| Nice concept, but technically I'd like to see a clearer photo. I don't care for the diagonal composition of the arms and the tones/contrast make the photo seem too dark imo. |

| Touching shot, toning is good for this time of shot. Not sure the gaussian blur adds to it though. |

| Could use more contrast and get more textured attention on the hands vs. background. |
