Agreed, very cute. What was your lighting and PP? Is their skin really that smooth?

The only criticism I could give is that your older boy looks slightly like he's being strangled. :)

I also like the image. Two points ... if you were using a wide angle lens, only use a wide- angle for people when not close to them. Also, the younger son is a bit too far back. You should always try to have people on the same plane of focus. The boy in front appears to have a much bigger head because of the younger son being a bit too far back. If it was created using a wide-angle, that compounded the problem. Otherwise, I do like the image.

Thanks Criag, Actually I used the 50mm 1.8 on a 30D so it wasn't wide angle..and I see your point about my younger boy being farther back..although my older sons head really is that big...lol:D :D . I can't see any distortion. Poor kid...hehe. Maybe I'm just not noticing it..thanks for the kind words and advice...Kim A.
