A very nice shot. The composition is beautiful and you handled the harsh light very well. I like the tight framing and the beautiful colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Quite a grand summer family scene posted here! Your fine full and central composition gives us an enjoyable look at a very natural scene. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
