Very nice composition. Would like to see the full tonal range here, but very solid entry.

*** CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT ***

Karen,

This is a very appealing photograph on its own terms, but perhaps not especially well-suited to the challenge "street photography", where the voters as a group expect edgier, more dynamic work.

Speaking tot he image itself, you'd have been well-served if you had recovered more detail in the dark areas I think, and cropped some off the bottom for a more dynamic composition. The following is a very quick-and-dirty stab at what I'm talking about, using PS CS2 shadow/highlight recovery and some retoning with hue/saturation in "colorize" mode. It's really a very appealing shot and a little more work will make it extra-special for your family.
