I thought about trying a group portrait but gave it up because my group was too hard to handle. You have carried it off very well. I have to ask if you coordinated what everyone wore? I see two themes; red and brown. Very nice.
Yep, there's seven of them, but snapshots of someone else's friends and family tend to score poorly unless there is something particularly special about the lighting or composition.
The colors work well, and the setup is nice. Focus is a bit soft. The bottom line question for me though is: Is this a portrait these people would want to keep? I'm not sure...
