The first thing that came to mind was: Where is it summer right now??? Cute mother-daughter shot.

7 - Nice. Good colors and shadow play. Criticism; difficult, but perhaps (depending of course what you had to work with), more of that excellent reflection incorporated, the 'rocks' on the left maybe cropped out (although it does add some more context), perhaps an 'under clothes adjustment' on 'Mother' (but minor) and a slight variation in the shadow capture (to allow for a little more detail 'in between them'), may have made this even better in my opinion. The 'lines' of the waves really set this off. The reflection just seems so good, like to see more of it.

What I like here is that in spite of the fact that mother and daughter are both equally visible in the shot, it is nevertheless primarily a photograph about the mother, or about the nature of motherhood. The mother is bigger, of course, and is also placed at the stronger thirds position in the frame, but there seems to be more to it than mere physical dominance. There's a strong sense of the maternal relationship flowing between these two, in BOTH directions. The daughter, from her body language, is apparently drawing confidence from the mother. The mother is not leading the daughter (she lets the daughter feel she is setting the pace of her own adventure), but the mother is clearly alert and ready to step forward instantly if needed. This subtle interplay is at the heart of mother-child relationships, be they people, cheetahs or ducks. There's something universal about it. Bravo for capturing it so well here. 9.

Very Very nice sharp clear image for this challenge. Great composition and color. Momm and daughter are just the right distance away from the camera.

This would be pretty cool for color burst. Like it and bump to 8. Harsh sun works perfectly here.

I love that you kept this in color and didn't go for the b/w. Nice capture
01/05/2006 12:56:34 PM
Nice light. I'd crop out the rock on the left that is distracting.

Love the vibrancy of the skirt and pant colours. Having the slightly off center was a good choice as well.

Lacking a little something. I think I'd like it zoomed out a bit. I'll give it a neutral 5.

Such a sweet shot.

Composition is ok. Good choice of subject matter. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. - 5

Love the scenery, but doesn't speak much of mother to me. Could be an aunt, or even a big sister by the young looks. Nice colors though!
01/03/2006 04:07:02 PM
Love the colors and such a clear reflection. Good luck!
01/03/2006 03:56:57 PM
Very nice photo
01/03/2006 01:56:36 AM
Very nice photo, I would have loved to have seen a little more of the reflection that you can see of the Mother & child in the front, maybe a square image.
01/02/2006 09:06:08 PM
I love the vivid colors! They look cute and tender!
01/02/2006 06:23:52 PM
I wish it was summer here...na not really I like the snow!
01/02/2006 05:14:50 PM
Sweet, I love the image. Well composed.

This is really nice!

Beautiful photo, colours are great, ribbon winner I hope.

good idea, hard lighting
01/02/2006 06:56:58 AM
I like this shot, wish I was there ... has a nice tone to the shot
