Mother & daughter

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I took this photo two years ago and only yesterday I ran into it again. What
it impressed me is how natural and at ease are the subjects with each other
and the camera. What you do you think?

I think the expressions are very nice. It's only a minor thing but I wish that there was a little more DoF or that the daughter was a tad more forward so her eyes would be sharper.

I think its a wonderful moment and as with any moments captured, the technical imorovements fade into irrelevance. intimate eye contact from the daughter and i love the mothers head position. Yu could take that exact same shot 100 times and not get that feeling in the final result.

Great moment Zafra! I am not a fan of the large white border though. I'd suggest playing with other colors and making it much thinner.

I agree, the number of shots I have taken which are 'technically' good and the subjects are frowning or have a funny face are too many to count!

A slight backing off of the vignetting might be the only suggestion I have.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
