critique #2

The composition fits perfectly together. The daughter and mother seem very comfortable with each other. The placement of the mother’s hands, and eyes, show the love coming off of the mom towards the child. My first reaction for the subject matter was that the mother has serious love for the daughter. By the way she holds her daughter it shows that she doesn’t want to let her daughter go. The focal point is the mothers eyes fixated on the daughter. There is more emphasis coming from the mother than anything else in the image. There is a subtle narrative. There may not be a narrative at all. The narrative that might be present is it is an early morning, and the daughter hopped into bed with her mother. The mom is drinking either a cup of coffee or tea on the bedside table. The characteristics that make this image strong is the mother in general. She has a stern dark look on her face and that’s the first thing that is noticed when looking at the image.
