I did this shot last year as a gift for my wife. She loved it. Though I would try it again this year. Any comments or suggestions?

    It's gorgeous and what a lovely idea. The only suggestion I have is cropping it square to get rid of some of the negative space on the left. It might be personal taste though. Just feels a little unbalanced IMHO.

    Great looking kids by the waythumb.gif

    Micthell,

    I loved the shot last year and love this one as well. My only suggestion is to rotate your oldest daughter counter clockwise a tad. I think it will balance the photo a bit better..You havea beautiful family.-

    The portrait was a big hit!
    I should be forgiven my photographic sins by my wife for at least the next month.

    Perhaps this would be a good time to buy some new glass!mwink.gif

    Absolutely adorable picture. iloveyou.gif

    Yes, get one of these pictures (same poses) every year. I'd love to see the kids change, interactions, etc. Thanks for sharing.

    This is WAY Cute!
    and they look like they were such willing participants.

    I know its post v-day, but the only thing i would change is i would try to make the spacing between them more even......like all their heads coming to one point in the middle and kind of thinking of each of them 1/3 of the way around the circle if that makes sense.....

    But WAY cute, i love it!

    Suggestion
    My suggestion is simple:
    Repeat the picture every year and as long as you can.
    Keep them all together and watch into 10 / 15 / 20 years time.
    This photo of my daughter
    http://www.antoniocorreia.com/gallery/951370/1/56569087
    is 27 years old.
    I should have shot 1 every Year since then.
    I have not. I / you should. It is great to remember. This photo made us laught (mother, father and herself) very much because it was a baby joke...:D
    Good Heath to you. thumb.gif
