I bet they are! The top subject should have been the focal point and thus should have had the sharpest focus. IMO. I do like the shot. I know others will beat you up for it being ordinary to them. well done
If you didn't have fun taking this picture, you need a new hobby. Nice job on catching four happy expressions at once. B&W would not have been my choice for this shot but you made it work. A little sharper focus on the top kid would have gotten an extra point. -8
whos to say what Extraordinary is ... i dont really know myself so nice shot. the only this is the top boys face is softand the sky is blowen out but i STILL love this shot 6
Love the pictures of the kids, 2 nitpicks on it. First are the walls, I love the rocks on the right, wish you could have had them so that they were entirely in front of that one instead of the two totally different walls. Second which is even smaller is that everyone seems to be looking at the camera except the second from the bottom kid.
Cute photo -- I find the grass / plant in the foreground annoying and while you may find your kids extraordinary, they don't exactly invoke the thought of extraordinary in your casual viewer. This shot certainly does belong in the family photo album. I'm sure they'll enjoy it more each year they see it, look back, and remember the carefree days of school-free summer.
