A family portrait taken a few days ago. We had my brothers in from out of town, so we decided to get together, fire up the self-timer, and take some piks. I used two off-camera flashes from on top of a picnic table. I told them to color coordinate within the families, but this was the best they could do with little notice. Comments on the posing/lighting would be appreciated...

looks wonderful to me! Group photos are the absolutely hardest for me so far and you nailed it I think

It looks very good to me. A really nice family portrait. And I love the idea of color coordination :) What kind of flashes did you use? What did you use to trigger them? Thanks for sharing!

I like it! Now...I'm trying to find the photographer in the pic. My guess is you're in the light blue shirt.

I really like that! I also think the family did a fine job at co-ordinating their wardrobe. Well done :)
