Great expressions. It would be better without the harsh flash. Can you bounce the flash off the ceiling, or possibly boost ISO and shoot natural light?
Nice representation of authority, and we know who’s in charge! It’s always the Mom! Only problem I have with this picture is that I’m seeing some blurry parts around the book and hands. Almost like a hire shutter speed should have been used and also the shadows don’t help. Still like the photo.
while i concur whole-heartedly with the sentiment, the execution is too snap-shotty. i don't know if it was due to flash, or how you set up the lighting, but the shadows are too strong. these are tough, tough images to capture (that is, working with children). good luck.
I'd have cropped this closer to group. I love the interaction you've caught between them and the composition of the three of them. Shame the books not in focus.
