I gave this shot a 7 and am surprised to see it so low. It has such warmth and emotion. I love that. I'm guessing it was the technicals that kept it from rating MUCH higher. The focus was too far forward, so that the people are out of focus, slightly. The vertical would probably be better if the line by her head was straight up and the other lines were the ones that came in. Some shadow/highlight to bring out some of the shadows could have helped a bit too.

Still, I love the emotion here and for me, it made up for some of the technicals.
