The last one is a great shot. I like the first one also. Agree about the vignette - a little goes a long way with that and its a great tool when used subtly. Why the watermark if these are family photos?

Thank you, the first is my favorite

I share my photos on a public Instagram account & I tag everything in the pic, including brands, people, etc. I watermark so they won't be used without credit, I've watermarked pics taken with my phone also lol [emoji1326]

The last shot has wonderful placement of the various elements: the loose eggs, the bunny, the baby in relation to the traditional pastel yellow chair, the trees in the background; look at how dad's arm overlaps a BIG, strong OAK TREE's trunk (dad's powerful frame and imposing mass)...look at the oaks in the back far top left corner...smaller, younger trees (baby). OAK trees specifically are the origin of springtime rebirth celebrations that predate the Christian religion's Easter celebration. If there is anything that would have been better, just a little bit more space to the left of the bucket would have been nice. Please look at the way the various props have been placed within the frame. This is a very,very symbolic image. I'm not sure everybody appreciates the ancient symbolism of eggs and oaks, of the cycle of birth and re-birth. This is why I in my earlier post, called this a GREAT picture, in all-caps.
