It could be my monitor, but the second shot looks soft-focused. Otherwise, I think they're great. I really like the pose in the first shot. Very nice work! :)

Great composition in the first shot! Lighting is good, as well as the lines. Second shot is the weakest of the three - composition is a bit unbalanced and I'd rather see the kids in front of the parents. Third shot blows the others away - absolutely perfect!

The first shot is lovely, a real framer, the second shot not pleasing to the eye, a little soft and the poses are a little rigid. The third of the two kids is charming.

I totally agree. The third shot is absolutely stunning

Thanks for the comments. Those were my feeling also. But the second one is sharp as can be.....just must be my upload. I appreciate the time!

Love the warm sunsetty glow and composition on the first image, second image is good but just ok compared to the other two, third image has nice lighting and focus but the arms look too placed for my taste (but their faces make up for the arms) : )

Brian, you have such a gift! Gorgeous shots, as usual. Love the last one though...so sweet! And years from now, the parents will have photographic evidence that those two actually got along for five minutes, too!!! :o)

these are all lovely, brian. you sure had an incredible evening to shoot--fantastic lighting and colors off the water.

Beautiful shots! Cherish them. I wish I had pictures like this of my family when I was growing up. I remember as a kid, my parents bought a Ricoh SLR. After a few rolls of blurred pictures, my dad traded it for golf clubs.

Numbers one and three are absolutely gorgeous..number two will also be a sweet memory I'm sure...Thank god for the warmth of our loved ones...

I agree The first and 3rd shots are beautiful,,and the 2nd one would have looked a bit better if the kids would have been in front of the parents but great work,,love the lighting and scenery,,gorgoues and great work!!

Same, 1 and 3 are the best. Very nice light.
I think someone better keep an eye on that little boy though...busy hands already lol.

I really like the first shot, I don't do too much posing like that but it really works here - very pretty! And I like the third one a lot, they just look so darn natural and cute!

Thanks for all the great compliments and critique. I didn't realize this thread was still going? It is much appreciated! B

This was at the end of the evening...I kinda liked this one.

that would have surely been a ribbon winner in my opinion in the silhouette challenge had you entered it...fantastic work...
