C&C for this family portrait

[iamdogdog]

Hi all, I posted this in the lighting thread as well.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=658976, so if the admin want, you can combine or delete either one of them.

1. I was shooting F5.6, for shot like this, should I use F8 or smaller? as I think there is a slight out of focus.

2. I was using genesis 200 as hair light (with the standard reflector), do you think the light was too much(check the neck)?

3. Do you think ur faces are over exposed?

Thanks.

I am not at home with this, but, what i find and pls ignore it if you dont like it:

The reflection in the glasses disturbs
her face and his cheeks seem very hot to me
he is tan, she is white like a ghost, they need to spend more time together! lol....

what i do like a lot is how you manged to make black stand out on black, very well done!

I wouldnt know how to get as far as you did, but this are just points which spring to mind when i look at it from a noobies point of view

Its pretty good!
The hairlight is a bit high - your wife's left fingers seem blown out.
The faces are a little hot, but you might not want to stop the main down - MUA's all round! :-)
The reflections in the glasses look like the light is a bit more behind you than 45degrees - you could try moving it over a little or if not then take it out in PP.
I like the pose - maybe drop your chin a little and tuck your thumb under.

Congrats on the new studio!
