Challenging situation

[terri]

Great job - that wasn't easy! They all look happy and you can see all their faces. It's fine!

Meanwhile...how dare our babygirl who was still playing softball when you joined here be graduating from college?!?

An excellent handling of very difficult photographic conditions. Well done!

I have a history using a 17mm lens, Mine is a canon TSE 17mm .
It is a very much in your face lens if your photographing a person.
the lens can be 6 inches away from pool cue and still get whole cue in the frame.
I photographed custom pool cues ,, some i made some not and sold them internationally for over a decade.
Personally the photo was challenge......... for several reasons.
With a 17MM I would of moved in closer enough to see the subjects faces .
Some of my 17mm pics

Me think you were slightly to far away from the subjects
