Thumb-up Thumb-up    from lurchi/Ulrich (61,249) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on January 4, 2011 11:46:00 AM CST (3) Early critique

I like the caring pose that goes well together with the centered composition here, the relaxed friendliness and the overall casual mood as well as the muted colors. I don't feel this is asking for a skewed horizon though. Not sure I do like your "vintage treatment" better than a conventional vignetting, but some sort of it is appropriate. Is it me or is the kid's face somewhat softer that mum's? I might add just a tad more warmth to the kid's skin tones that appear a little grey now, especially compared to the woman's arms on both sides.
Regards, U.

Really nice family portrait. the subdued colours work well. While I didn't notice it immediately, I think the non-horizontal horizon would bug me after just a little time. I'm not sure if it was deliberate, but the idea to cover the detail of her feet with sand was inspired - otherwise her feet would have been simply too distracting within the frame.

Hi Tommy, I like this kind of "old fashioned" photo, well managed in post production, also noce composition, you took a nice sweet moment between mum & daughter, I'm just not shure about the wide lens you've used... all the best!
