Looks like you had a lot of fun making this picture. That's worth more than any ribbon. You captured the joy really well. It makes me smile when I look at it.
What a fantastically real and fun shot! I adore the kids faces and you guys obviously had a great time with this one. That's what it's all about after all! Maybe not a technically perfect image but it sure makes my smile and feel that warm family feeling! Back to bump you up to 8.
Oh gosh. I sure hope there were no teeth knocked out during this.
Or by the look of the blond girl, other body parts..
Hehe.
Great idea.
One thing I might suggest though that others may not:
The background/area of shooting and the clothing choices.
Though in the book, I do believe the hopping took place in the home in casual dress, for shooting a picture that is to be entered in a challenge, perhaps you might want to try a more professional approach with it.
Just a suggestion. Just trying to help.
.. ouch! great expressions- all 3! I think it swould be beter without all the belongings in the background, and the window blinds pulling fromt he image.
