A portrait to treasure. Nicely lit, relaxed, happy mom and child. Great photo.

Unusually good 'snapshot' portrait. models look happy and natural - fill flash helps a lot.

Good to a see another budding boarder too! : )

I really like this portrait. No harsh shadows on their faces and the background is powerfull but doesn't draw to much attention to it.
Excellent work !

Oh THAT is an amazing photo! What gorgeous subjects! They certainly know how to pose and look like they aren't posing. 10

Great eye in capturing this stunning shot. This is the type of shot we need to see more of on this site. Warmth, emotion, beauty, happiness. Perfection.
The lighting and tone are superb! One of my favorites in this challenge and well deserving of a 9 - no, bumping up to a 10!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Super shot! This reminds me of one of those stock pictures they use when you buy a new picture frame. I mean this in a nice way! They always have well-done shots with very photogenic people in them... and this certainly fits the bill.

This is an incredibly well done portrait. The black and white is perfect; they so relaxed, not at all posed, and I think you've really managed to capture "personality". I'm willing to bet that you are very proud of this shot, and you should be. One of the nicest I've seen.

Nice job! Eyes look great...just a little too centered, and static...but great smiles, nice detail and good lighting! 8

Gorgeous! Wonderful light in a natural setting. It looks like something I'd get with a picture frame. -- that's a compliment!

Excellent portrait shot.Truly crisp and your use of available light was masterful. Poses are natural and flowing well. My only concern lies in the cropping of the hands. I think a crop at the mid-forearm may help. 7.

Good lighting and focus. I would have cut the bottom off a little more so there wouldn't be a dark line across the bottom and maybe shave some off the top also.
