I was asked by a friend to shoot individual and team pictures for her sons YAFL football team. I thought great I haven't done anything like this so it would be a good learning experience. As it turns out I am doing 2 teams the first team is a bit older, 5th graders as opposed to 3rd graders. The 5th graders came out pretty well I had to change the background in it as well from houses to a solid sky with some clouds. I left a fence line and a few bushes and shrubs in the background to make it look more realistic and it turned out pretty well.
I just shot the image for the 2nd team (3rd graders) yesterday and a nearby field with different background. I am really not liking the background at all and looks very confusing and distracting to me. So I went from the ground up with sky and added some clouds. It looks ok (meh) and looks to me like it is lacking something. I would like to put some shrubs and bushes in the background but having problems finding any brushes that will do it. Here is the before and after images. Am I on the right track or should I just scrap the whole idea and roll with the original?

| And how many kids do you need to fix the background for? It would probably be easier to grab a stock football background and put each kid into the same background. Something like this maybe... link |

| Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't THIS background pretty much mandatory for school age photos? |
