    A charming family portrait William - I like it. The oof foreground is a bit distracting so I suggest you think about a more plano version cropping the scene just above the copyright claim. Regards, Ian.

    A very good but not perfect family grouping. I am fine with the foreground/background proportions and the image design. Is this a large crop? I ask because the IQ is somewhat suspect and the image looks a bit crunchy.

    Yes, it was rather a large crop Arthur

    Wow, IQ issue aside, it's a great image with alot going for it....storytelling aspect is cool, and three decent head angles from three subjects is not easy... I'm not familiar with the species so...is this mom, then junior, then dad? Light quality is very good. Shooting angle is right on....let go with a little more space, particularly on the right hand side and a little less sharpening and I think a fine image is only going to be better.
