A lovely picture. The boy and mother have the same eyes. I notice some comments about the fact that the boy seems heavy, mother seems tense. I liked that effect. The rather wary look in both of their eyes, combined with how they are holding each other gives a powerful emotional undercurrent to what would otherwise be just another family picture.

Great photo!

I like this snapshot, technical is really well done, good contrast and brightness, focus is right on, but it is still a snapshot.

Your lighting on the faces is perfect. Did you use fill flash?

Well controlled, attractive black and white. I might have cropped tighter though, I think the most interesting part is his hands around her nack.

lovely portrait. Very well composed. The only thing is that mum and her son seem just slightly tense

Good photo, sharp focus, but skin tone needs a little more contrast. Was this horrible in color? Photo 9 Creativity 7 People 9 total 8
(I was very tempted to score down for lack of color, but didn't)

Nice looking pair, I really like the "thoughtful" look on the boy's face. If the colors of the shirts matched, this would be a nice shot in color, too, I think.

Nice clean shot. Good job.

Good shot, though I would have prefered color myself for this one (unless the shirt really dominated). Well above agerage.

beautiful shot...and subjects.
05/28/2002 08:24:00 AM
Excellent focus. Is that a "blue Steel" look?

Very nice portrait! The composition is excellent and the lighting is nice and even trhoughout the photo. I think the only element of this shot that could be better, in my opinion, is the depth of field. I prefer a more shallow depth of field in a shot like this to further blur out the background. When I make photos like this, I usually back away from the subject and use my zoom to help enhance this effect... nice job! = 9

interesting portrait attempt, but she doesn't look very comfortable/ happy. Maybe would have worked better if they were looking at each other/ interacting more, rather than looking straight into the camera ?

Very good shot. Good choice of b&w as well. The boy's shirt looks as if it is quite colorful and I think that would've been distracting.

Nice b&w and good portrait. Handsome/pretty _people_. Job well done.

A very nice picture good DOF I like it.
05/27/2002 10:00:00 AM
They are both beautiful subjects. It seems kind of strained, though, because mom has to support the weight of child, and he's hanging onto her, too. I think maybe sitting would have been more relaxed and a bit more tender. It just seems like the child is beginning to feel heavy.

i expect u should be able to get great images of the child alone. he looks fantastic!
