Expression of love

An expression I captured on Christmas Day

Comment from ElliR


This is a beautiful and heartwarming photo that captures a tender moment between a mother and her daughter on Christmas Day. The way they both have their eyes closed and are hugging tightly conveys a deep sense of love and connection.

The black and white conversion adds a timeless quality to the image and draws attention to the emotions and expressions on the faces of the subjects, rather than distracting colors.

The major cropping used in this photo brings the focus solely on the mother and daughter, emphasizing their bond and the love they share. Overall, this is a touching and well-crafted piece of mixed media photography that effectively captures a special moment

Comment from Charlotte Morse


The mother certainly has a look of deep love on her face, while the child looks totally exhausted - too much excitement on Christmas morning no doubt!
This is a sweet family photo, one to be treasured. It has excellent focus, dof, composition and a good tonal range. Very best for the contest!

    Thank you Charlotte for your lovely review. This child, my grand-daughter adores her mother and for a moment she sat quietly on her loving mothers lap and hugged her.

Very nice capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of mother and child hugging is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

nice family shot and would i thought been more akin to color,but i also think b/w was also a good choice in this,they seem to be in a lot of sunlight which was not ideal but apart from it creeping in on the left its still a nice shot...Brian

Comment from Monica Morrell


This is a very powerful and moving photograph. I can feel the Mom and Childs love. An intimate moment that can only be felt between a mother and child. I personally believe there is no greater love than that of a mother to her children. This is nicely focused. I like your choice of converting this to black and white. A great contest contender and I wish you the best of luck!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


This is rather nice expressive art but the pretty little girl looks as though she may be sleepy. The mother expresses love or understanding, or both. Perhaps the little girl is; she definitely hangs on to mama. The background may take away a tad. But it is still a nice capture. Best wishes.

This is a beautiful expression of the love between the young mother and her daughter.
The black and white works so well to emphasize their facial expressions. They both have their eyes closed , but we see and feel the emotion here.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, nice tones over the image. Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!
