Family Photos

Took another family photo, what do you think? any critiques?
I used my 5D and (1) 580ex on a light tree with umbrella.
I also added a Jing of how I removed the bushes...
(video is big, haven't figured out how to re-size...)

    I'm liking the video additions. Yours kept buffering so I couldn't make it through. I like the photos. The second one really pops. A good separation from the background. Would love to have seen a picture of you up in the tree :)

    Same here, couldn't see all the vid. You can select the screensize before you record. I would suggest first making your workspace as compact as you can to reduce the file size. To select just a portion of the screen drag from corner to corner the area you want to record.

    One critique on composition. Rafe taught me a basic tip on group portraits that has helped a lot. If you arrange people using triangular shapes, it is a lot more pleasing to the eye. Of course, this image has a nice feel to it because of everyone's natural expression which can outweigh the composition; however, I think it could be stronger the proper positioning of the people. Maybe moving the son and daughter apart and the daughter a little closer to Dad, what do you think?

    Troy knows popping color. Just one question, how did you get above the family doing the wave?
