It was obviously a bright day. It still looks very bright to me. Bit too bright to my eye, to be honest. By which I mean might you have been able to do some processing to reduce this?
A couple of major problems with this, I'm afraid. The biggest is harsh midday sun is giving you blown highlights. The pic also seems a little soft as well. Love the lineup, however. It looks like they are all crowding around to watch you.
The pose is great, and it has real potential... but it's just killed with poor focus and what was probably an attempt at trying to boost a really bad exposure.
These guys look ready to charge! Unfortunately, this image seems like it could have been better with sharper focus, and a negative exposure adjustment (so that you weren't blowing out so many highlights).
