This image is from a shoot I did last summer at the park. Thought I would post here for some comments/critiques.

Nice shot. Sharp, good color and contrast, cute boys.

Nice shot, did you use a flash off camera?

I love it. The background almost looks like a backdrop. Good job.

Yes. Setup was 550ex w/ shoot thru umbrella on a light stand, triggered with pocketwizards. Used enough power to stop down and darken the background a little. It was a bright sunny day.

Here is another from that session. Same lighting set up. This was shot in the shade, correct exposure for the boys would have resulted in blown highlights in the background with no flash.

Very nicely balanced (flash/ambient)

Thanks to all for the comments. Here is another from that session. Less flash, if any, on this one. Note how much brighter the background is.
