My thoughts when I look at this are:Please give me C&C on lighting and overall PP. What would you change? How can I improve this shot?
This is perfect...I did this one for your pretty family.

Personally I feel the background is a little bleh. You could help this by using a wider angle to give the cloud some definition. With long focal length you were using, the cloud was very compressed so all you see is white. Really too bad you cant see colors in the background. Anyway.. here is a sample of long vs wide. I know this isnt family photo AND they are not shot that tight.. but you get the idea a little bit.
The first one was shot with 135. The cloud is almost all white.
This one was shot at 38mm. I know this was shot wide, just pretend I shot it a bit closer to the subject and the subject size is as big as the 1st one (i know one is vertical and one is horiz but I cant find a better example). Now the background is a ton more interesting.
Derrel.. you accused someone like cgipson for always criticizing what a certain member said, maybe you should look at the mirror again just like your avatar. OP asked for advice on lighting, pp, and how to improve the shot. I believe using wider angle could have improve the shot. I was just guessing there were some clouds in the sky. Even if there wasnt, it will show the background better..
I took a long break from spending a lot of time on this forum. I always get creamed for just trying to help. I feel like the only time this forum is good for is to joke around or to argue. That is it.
