I think as soon as people see a flash in a photo, they yell snapshot. This might have been better received in Candid since it is obviously not posed. I like that he is looking right at you and you really did a nice job of capturing a moment of pure joy. Fun photo and a great idea for a transition!

Looks kinda dull. Shiny pennies and more imaginative lighting would make this pop better.

If the lighting was a bit stronger on the "tails" so that it stood out more, this shot would be much more effective.

intersting colours bit not much else, the coins probably should have filled all the gaps to the table, Good Luck

It's a shame deb because this really did deserve a higher score. And look - 6 people thought it was better than a 6!!! So cherish that and ignore the 51 people who love to use the 4 and below buttons.

I think with just a big of lightning up on their faces (to counteract the brightness of the background), you would have put a little more focus on the boys.

Does not look posed to me!

Keep on shooting!

Nice shot, but the boys ended up too dark. The right two almost have their face hidden. For advance editing I would have liked to see your main subjects a bit brighter...

this looks more like a pose than a candid shot.

great composition on this - but the faces are too dark.
