lovely shot, Sam
nicely balanced...I'm no expert, but if I wanted to behyper-critical I would say that the pic goes a little dark by the side of No 1 son's right ear...and your daughter's arm is a slight distraction.
I would be very pleased with this
so, well done and thanks for uploading

Firstly Sam, well done for getting your image in the mag.
For me the image works better in the mag as the background appears black , but in this image your background seems to blend in with the girls top. I personally like the way the girls head is slightly tilted the other way to the boys.
Just a little photoshop work on the background, then take it down your local printers, get a frame and on the wall it goes.

PS bet you are really proud.

Very nice family portrait... but have to agree with the magazine comments about the white shirt and your daughter's chin being covered by your son's sholder. I also think that getting them to reverse positions by facing the other way would possibly be better.

Hi Sam, haven`t seen the mag but well done.
Its not a bad family portrait, it does look a little soft but this could have been down to compression for upload.
I would like to have seen these three posed a little closer together, maybe with your daughter`s chin resting on the eldest shoulder and perhaps your youngest resting his chin on your daughters shoulder bringing them all together. This would have helped a little more with the lighting and less shadow.
As for the background get a length of black velvet, less likely to crease and deals well with stray light.
