I had a brainstorm for a play on this theme but I'm not 100% sure I executed the feel I was going for.... Help? Thoughts/opinions GREATLY appreciated.

    Ok--please don't take this the wrong way,but I will say what first came to mind when I saw this--the movie Children of the Corn--which def doesn't say innocence.

    Not because your kids look like that but because they are children and they are standing in a field of corn, plus they look a little upset.

    Am I the only one?

    EDIT: Let me just add that I love the light on the shot and the colors and I get where you were going--just that's what came to mind for me.

    They're squinting, right? I think light that doesn't make them squint. I like the younger boys pose, kind of looking out into the corn, like a farmer surveying his crops. that starts to get at the theme for me, and I'd be interested in seeing that theme explored.

    What about a tighter crop without super squinty big brother?

    Couple more from that session... if none of these float then I'll be hoping for a productive reshoot. Thanks to everyone for looking, chiming in!

    I, too, like #3--it's a great photo and it conveys the innocence theme strongly. Nice shot!

    #3 was my wife's favorite too... I do like the more genuine expressions. Thanks for the input everyone! I appreciate it.

    I like #3 the most also... with the warm colors, lines, and the two different personalities that seem to be captured in the photo.
