I definitely think it shows love. Certainly gazing into each others' eyes (or whatever) is one way to show love, but not the only way. Sharing this kind of time, goofing around, especially between a parent and a child, builds a close relationship like no other. We don't do this kind of thing with people we don't like

Fascinating work ... colour is lovely and the concept is very "otherworldly".

fab

Fantastic work author...love the colors,mood,execution...everything....best of luck

As you say, we each have our own definition............ this is yours!

Oh, and for what it is worth, I am the father of what was once a wild little boy............we also had great times like these, I guess I just didn't think about it the same way.

Beautiful picture..

honestly, aside from the vignette, i believe it is on topic.
and...Ade, if you were a mother of a wild little boy, you'd understand more. Sometimes taking the time to make funny faces with them is showing more love than coddling them. Its about the time spent, and how it measures up to the child. its not a picture perfect definition, as no love really can be defined in a dictionary or on wikipedia.

very good!!

Fantastic colors with amazing work........... Good Luck Author.

Great expression on their faces! The picture does have a bit of a yellowish-green cast to it though; was this intentional? I think it'd look much better in either B/W or utilizing a more traditional color palette. Still, nice work! All the best.

beautiful

so, by pulling her hair out of the top of her skull, this indicates a mother's love!

not really sure this shows love..........

Great idea..needs a background to finish it off.

I love it, good luck!!

EDIT: Kate Bush is an incredible artist... (she was a musician/songwriter/dancer/visual performer/singer/director)... She is Suspended in Gaffa!!!
Your image looks A LOT her in the early years...she's still thought of as a master today

run away bride...GL

great shot author...gl

I like your composition and unusual color choices, author

This is a very nice shot, but it's not about the legs

wow, the elegant little legs.... how cute!!!

That is a very nice picture, great composition

I like the drama, and the legs ! Since i understand she ran off her wedding, it won't hurt to post her number in the description.

Nice entry! Some might argue that the bouquet might be more of the main focus than the legs but in this case, it really seems to accent the shot. Well done! GL!

nice piece author...best of luck

great shot...gl

Agrees with Akassa

It seems you are jumping together! Very synchro...

Nice composition. HR would be welcome.

super cool positive creation...best of luck author

Author image is very nice and with few correction could be even better,especially in shadows and lighting...but your sources are not valid...please read http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/ to avoid similar situations in the future...best of luck

nice blending and lighting

Shadows are messed up, you have book shadows to left, light from right and the guy's lights are the opposite light from left -> shadows right.

No humans, or parts of humans, are allowed in the shot. Backgrounds, including plants, are ok, but no living creatures.

Might be my monitor, but the dress looks like it has a tiny bit of a yellow twinge to it

Congrats !

must be awfully dark in the north pole
