Johan , nice image but without techs it will be difficult to make any comments

That is delightful, the only nit would be the legs/feet behind the log. I had my first chance to get an image of these in December unfortunately they were a long way off and the sun was behind them,

[Harshad Barve]

Good use of F stop here , loved those poses and log do not bother me much here

[Alfred Forns]

Excellent poses and nearly perfect head angle for all !! Like how you gave a more room to the right for framing !! Love them little guys !!!

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Cute fellows. It would have been good if we could have seen their feet. Nice pose. The space at the right is nice. However, I would like to crop slightly from the right so that the branch or twig lying on the ground on the extreme right can be taken off. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice little family group. I like the fact that while two of them are looking at you one little fellow is staring off at something completely differnt.

[Callie de Wet]

Pragtig. Nice family. I am with Ken got my first try in December too, but back-lit and a bit too far.

[Hendri Venter]

They are so cute Johan. I like the eye contact from the two on the left and that stand-up poses. For me the branch in front of their feet adds character. All in all this is a lovely family portrait.

[Stu Bowie]

Love the little guy in the middle, and good to have eye contact from two of them.

[Deborah Harrison]

A difficult shot to make given the difference in distance from the camera of each of them, yet all three are sharp. I disagree with Alfred and think that cropping some of the foliage to the right would make this more intimate.

[Alfred Forns]

.. Johan ... forgot to say I love your avatar !!!! :)

I think you might be correct about the crop Deborah, would also make them larger in frame !!! Good call !!!

[Austin Thomas]

A very nice family well caught.

The eye contact on two is excellent. I would crop some from the RHS as already suggested.
