Hi Judy, I really like the idea of this...but I think it would have more impact if you had lined up the little girl so her family were not directly behind. Then she would appear even more in her own world playing in the sand. DOF is perfect. It bugs me not being straight though. Hope that helps :)

I agree, it should be straightened. I love the little one front and center with the rest of the crown out of focus and looking on...neat composition. Beautiful tones and the expression on the baby is great.

Wonderful idea for a group portrait composition.
I like how sharp the little girl is but would prefer if you had used a different angle from which to take the shot so that she would not be directly in front of her family. The background also does not look straight and makes the composition uncomfortable to view.
Best regards, Andree

Hi Judi, for the larger part, I have to agree to the comments already given. The idea of placing the little girl sin front, separated from the bigger group is great. Definitely something to remember. I think it really makes this image tick.
Yet, I believe this image would really rock if the image quality would've been slightly more balanced in it's sharpness, it's tonal range and in it's exposure.
If I look at the photo closely, it looks like you applied a bit too much unsharpen mask, and the sky has some blown out spots, in combination with a lack of details in the woman's black hair, suggesting a too high contrast. A bit more subtlety in the post processing and this would be just perfect.
Cheers,
Hugo

Superb family portrait. The fact that you chose a selected DOF makes it different from most others. Good conversion to black and white as well.

I think Hugo hit all the main points. I too have to say that I absolutely love the way you put the baby in the front away from the others.

Great image!! Love the relationship story. If it were mine I'd be tempted to try cropping it square. Not sure why but it seems quite pixellated on my screen. Could just be the download.

What a waste of a good beach! All huddled together with all that sand waiting to get between their toes. What I'm trying to say is the people could have been more spread out. I might try to salvage it by cropping tight right and tight left to make a vertical shot. The little guy in front is precious! A vertical would emphasize him more.
