Thank you for submitting this image which I find captures so many feelings around family: freedom and joy of childhood; togetherness of siblings; parental care alongside the feelings of fear over letting your kids go. The toning and composition reflect that drama for me. Many congratulations on first place.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Family means different things to different people, but underlying all the celebrations, and the arguments, and the love, and laughter and intense annoyances, is a bond that was forged long ago, and which endures in some form or other, no matter what. We’ll keep this contest focussed on families of the human kind, and don’t feel constrained by blood relations - we form families of a kind in many other areas of our life too.

Thank you for sharing this image. Family life isn't all smiles and I appreciate the intention behind the image. I also appreciate the technical choices you made and executed skillfully to achieve this, including how you have worked with the subjects to achieve the expressions. Congratulations on second place.
