OK, a structured commentary, using the CRAP system ;o) C(ontent) A candid, seemingly unposed, picture of two children. R(eaction) I noted the interactions betwen the kids but didn't really warm to them. In part it looks like the younger kid has turned his eyes to the photographer breaking the moment (?) A(rtistic) I tried to look at this as a piece of artwork and was getting nowhere with it. As a family candid of the interaction it was fine. P(hotographic) The harsh frontal flash dominates this picture. It leaves the background a pale second. I'm not happy with the balance of the picture: much of the right half is superfluous. A different crop, a la Qkano style : http://website.lineone.net/~wildimages/PF/vissak-2.jpg For me it improves the "A" and "P" scores ... Bob
