Oh wow, I totally understood this one and thought it would rank so much higher. I thought it was a great take on the concept of balance!

Very important message. Hope this isn't too subtle for the voters. Great job on the part of the young model. Facial expression is perfect. -8

Love the title, but thats it without the cyptic title it would not show balance as well as it should. The subjects look to me more like lost time or being to busy, sadness really and this has been convayed very well indeed but not balance.

Great shot. I love the candid feel of the photo and the natural poise of the subjects. The juxtopose of child's toy vs. mans laptop really adds to the photo.

Ah, the balance of work and family. A hard act to perform these days. I like your composition and lighting (natural) and the expression on the boys face says it all. Well done (9)

OK, I know the song, and this picture represents that verse great. But I don't see "balance".

Love your title and the thought behind this shot. It's very touching and something alot of us struggle with. Technically, the shot is well done, very simple complementing background and just enough details with the props to get your point across.
