i know this moment holds a special place for you, and having been a member here for a while, i also know this will probably wind up near the bottom--that's just the way things are around here. just don't take it personally. this is a great place to learn, grow, and push yourself, as long as you have thick enough skin and some desire.

for all intents and purposes, this is a snapshot, as opposed to something you set out to capture. you were good to keen in on the moment, but there are many things that you could do to go from grabbing cute snapshots to capturing great images of your children.

I think that shooting at the kid's eye level would add lots of impact to this image.

This looks more like a shot for a family album.

Nice family pic, but not a great compo entry, I'm afraid.

The lighting is too harsh. A faster shutter speed would help a lot with this.

Precious picture. Technically not as strong as most but it's really the moment that counts and its meaning to you.

I think cropping the top would improve this image. That would bring the boys face to the upper left "power point" (rule of thirds). You don't need the top of his head, and the stroller distracts from the wonderful moment of the boy smelling the flower.
