I'd like some feedback on this shot. The people in the photo love it-- which I guess is the point-- but I think I'm being overly critical of my work. So, what does everyone think?

    Great shot. Not hard to see how they would love it. the shadows are slightly dark to my eye, but that is just being picky.

    Nice composition with the bridge in background, the whole family is looking at the camera, nice smiles! Forget about the shadows..they aren't overpowering....they actually provide the mood of the environment. Its easy to see why they like it....it's a nice shot.

    This shot provides a great example of a reflector. Notice the light coming off the shirts on the right (our right) side of the smallest child's face.

    I think it's pretty good.

    I'd consider filling in some of the shadow on the face either with a fill in or a reflector.

    The bridge support/colum on the far left of the image is a touch distracting and there may be a touch green color cast.
