Greetings from the Critique Club

This charming image needs little critique from me! The excellent lighting and good background make this photograph work well. As someone pointed out, the little hand with the ring is a slight distraction, as is the tiny light streak on the woman's arm. Other than that, excellent cropping accentuates the expressions on those lovely faces.

The joyful looks on both models' faces is priceless and this could be a family treasure of a picture.

I wish you continued success in your DPC experience.

just love it, made me smile - look at the love coming out of that little girl! Excellent on the 'capturing personality" scale - 7

a nice portrait. dont like the little girls hand "floating" around mom's neck. i think the cropping is a little too tight in that respect. smile on little girls' face looks a little "held" in that she's waiting for the picture for a second or two too long. some slight burning along mom's shoulder. eyes are magnificantly captured. 6/10

What a contrast in coloring! Where the little one is blond and fair, Mom is dark with brown eyes. Very natural. You can feel the love in this.

They seem a bit overlit in the faces washing out the tones of the lovely little girls' skin a bit more than I'd like to see. Otherwise a very nice example of a sweet relationship.
