No Vote, just a Comment. Well done for achieving a good balance of available light and flash. One of the few I've seen so far that meets the description of 'fill-in'

Good shot. I personally feel that had the flash been stronger, the faces are better lit up. Nonetheless, it's a good shot. 7!

I thought this challenge was perfect for Family Portraits (from someone who normally hates them), yet few people have gone this way. Exposed for the sky effects and then use fill flash to correctly expose the subject. Seems easy.
The boy is a little dark, comes from being behind the girl, especially when the light is coming from the left. Also, i think the light needed to be slightly (read slightly....._ more central, just enough to move that shaddow just off their eyes.
I have taken many kids photos, and get sick of saying 'drop your chin slightly', but I think a light drop of the chin (to match the girls) for the boy also would have been good.
I know, small things, and yes, being a little picky, but that isn't affecting your score. Just trying to help and see if next time, you can get that perfect shot........well done
