I so wanted to use my 3 boys for this challenge and Im glad I did. Im not good at this type of photography but thanks to some suggestions from the team I managed to get a shot that’s perfect in my view.. After all it’s my boys. Scoring like it did is good enough for me but yes.. would liked to have done better for the team

I’m proud of them all and they are well disciplined with their instruments. It’s hard work but they enjoy it
Getting them to work together, posed “naturally” and do what’s asked is VERY tough… So yes, thanks for the comments and some interesting statements which Goes without saying. I was not about to make this photo session an army camp for them and was hoping this to be fun for the boys as well.

Yep. Impossible to get kids to co-operate! Have you got a kicker flash or off-camera flash with triggers? Would have nade them stand out a lot and give you some nice silver contrast. I prefer to shoot totally candid from an invisible distance with a 500mm so my victims don;'t know I'm around :) Lovely shot and the BG makes a huge difference. Well handled. 6.x is good.
Great portrait, fun and engaging - excellent choice! The bg lighting and bokeh really are a big plus to the composition. (for the record, I'm not voting on this one).
