Jack and Kate on Mothers Day

Kate is 4 and Jack is 20 months. These two are incredibly energetic and getting them to stand still is nearly impossible, so these will do.
5D3/135L.

We also got baby sister (Brooke) to sit with them and mom for a Mothers Day picture. This was all she wanted for Mothers Day and she was very happy with it.

Do these look oversharpened? I cant decide. The 135L is pretty darn sharp on its own. I dont think they needed any extra.

I thought the same hah

These are great. The smile on the first one makes it my favourite.

My opinion on the sharpening is that it's sharper than I would go, but not glaringly 'oversharpened'. Question though, did you sharpen and then downsize the images? They look a bit pixelated, like either the images we sharpened again, on upload (I didn't think these forums did that), or like they were resized after sharpening.

When I'm paying attention, I always sharpen last, after resizing.

They were rseized per forum rules before uploading..that makes sense. They look good full size and in print. Thanks for the insight.

They do look a little sharp, or is it to much Clarity slider in LR? I know I used to use that slider a ton, and then someone asked me with my photos had a tone of grit to them. I finally figured out I was going heavy handed with the clarity slider. On a different note, I love the images. Having a very supportive spouse that enjoys your gift of photography goes a long way, and makes gifts really magical. Well done sir, and amazing family.

Jack looks like he is going 100mph all the time LOL! LITERALLY a handful in the last pic

This is lovely Excellent photos.
