Thank you for all of the comments, they mean a great deal. This is my wife Janet and my Daughter Ruby. Perhaps not the most representational likeness of either of them- being that my daughter has that pained look on her face, of tiredness, impatience, etc.

It is nice to have them on my front page, whatever the expression, and, this was the third best scoring shot i have ever had- so, things may be looking up.

here's an outtake.

Really liked this. I gave it a 7 but i probably should have bumped that up. Excellent shot.

My top pick... such emotion and story here... reminds me of Marion Post Wolcott's work : //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Post_Wolcott

Gorgeous... two in one portraits... compelling in it's fight for attention, but relaxed in a way that I haven't seen here in a while. This is superb.

Really nice, I love the glow on the child`s skin, how it contrasts with the lady. It just seems to give a real sense of time to the photo (I hope I explained that right!)

The expressions are just great - such angst or is it longing. There's a story begging to be told by these two. The black and white is just right and because they are looking both ways, the centered position in the frame works well for me. One of my top five; voted earlier.

Whatever. One of the most compelling (and beautiful) shots on this site in recent memory. Wonderful double portrait. 10

The child's face and expression are perfect for the theme. Nice capture.

Those eyes! And then the smile fills out the story so nicely.
