very nice,

really nice shot

Great mood in this shot

Nice capture, I like when the pictures are not staged. Well done.

Fabulous shot author....very well done

the content is all there, but the lighting lets this down. also, the image is a little oof.

I think ade's right. Your lighting could have been better. Try outdoor lighting next time. It might help.

Can't win 'em all, huh?

I'm not sure this is backlit as much as side lit (look at the kids shadow)

LOOK at the halo of light on his head!

Nice shot good mood, to me this is backlight IMO

I first thought it was very noisy, but I think it's a scanned photo that has been pushed a little too far.

beautiful!

wow....mesmerizing......

soo prettty n beautiful

Unique subject matter! GL!

Why does this one look familiar? It's not in your portfolio, was it entered and pulled in an other contest?

Yea, it was pulled because it didn't fully match the entry description of the last contest.

I really like this! Can't cook but this really is eye-catching. The dof is wonderful!

Well done for finding an other use for a nice photograph.

More of a saying than a quotation, but a nice shot nonetheless

Here's a quote to match in case mods want to give you grief.
