Shot this out on Antelope Island using a tripod for the camera and one Canon 430EX, camera right at 1/16 power, shot through an umbrella.

Nice work. Good job getting your kid to look at the camera.

We had to tell him there was a squirrel on the camera and to wave at the squirrel. That's why he's waving :lol: He has a thing for squirrels...

Thank you all for the compliments! As far as PP goes. I just tweeked the exposure a little in Lightroom and added a touch of "vibrance" and "saturation". That's it.

WOW. Its gorgeous. That's a fantastic family portrait.
The only thing is your flash has (of course) a very much higher color temp than the shining sun. I'd compensate by adding some red, and removing much blue with a curve on the skin tones.

I can post an edit if you which.
