    I recognize your husband from a shot you entered in the challenges!!

    #1 is wonderful. I love how your husband and daughter are relaxing together and have their eyes glued to what apparently must be the TV.

    I dig number two Virginia. The special time between father and daughter really speaks to me in it. Well done!

    Two is sweet. One is wonderful. Her look has a bit of that drama of exhaustion compared to dad's calm.

    Both very nice, Virginia, even if I don't know who they are or what their relationship is. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, B.D.

    I suspect that you have rightly guessed the relationship of the two people in the pictures.

    But, then, maybe not.

    Actually, there isn't much mystery in either of these photos. I suspect that everyone would come up with fairly similar stories about them, with differences only in the details.

    For what I was going for, that is probably good. They each tell a little story of ordinary life, but there is little complexity in either. You look at them. You get it. Done.

    Thinking ......

    I really love the quiet, unhurried repose of two generations together portrayed in #1--no agenda, no drama, just comfortably hanging together. #2 tells a story of focused engagement in messy play, using only the most essential elements to tell the story. Both are really beautiful, non-traditional portraits. clap.gif

    Thanks, Halite. Your comments (which I had somehow missed before today) are much appreciated.

    This has been an interesting exercise.

    Seeing everybody's contributions, letting myself take in the untitled pictures in an open-minded, purposeful, thoughtful way, trying (though not always successfully) to make intelligent, constructive comments about them, and most of all reading the comments of others about the great variety of shots that were presented, has been a wonderful learning exercise for me.

    Though don't ask me yet what I have learned. I'm still digesting!!

    Thanks to everyone who participated.
