Hmmmmmmm...it seems Tim Glisson beat me to a spot light.......... but from one artist to another.......... This is a profound image .... since our world is about high water, big waves, and melting snow. Your use of camera and lighting and aperture......and artistic eye......... all came together very well....... shadows on wet pavement to blacked out figures against white wall of water ambiance......... made the image.......... yet the touching of mom to child...... was captured very well........ BRAVO........when Tim's spot light runs out......... You got one of mine as back up......... this image is a 2011 representation of "LOVE" in odd ball times!
I have been there .. along time time ago...... and looked at that very moment!
Excellent use of Black n white......... to capture Love! -

stunning and touching. I feel like photographers misuse the medium of black and while too often these days, like they assume it's automatically "art" if it's b&w. You used it in such a profound way. True art.

This goes beyond simply looking and thinking, "that is a good photo," or even, "that is an amazing picture!" It captures emotion, and is a powerful piece of photography.
