Fall family portrait

[GeneralBenson]

I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of either. Mostly from a compositional point of view. In both images, the subject are dead center. And the river, to me, seems to just be a distraction. It's not in the image enough to be a part of the image , and is just this corner of something going on on the frame edge. And the bright spot in the water of the horizontal is a distraction to me. I also, find the grass that is blocking the subjects in the foreground, and the tree branch coming in from the upper left to detract from the image. I think framing them more into the lower left corner, and allowing the river to be more a part of the image would have helped sort some of this out.

I think the expression you got out of them are nice and genuine, and the poses look pretty casual. But I the the boy in back is looming a little bit too much, and dad's hand on mom's shoulder looks a little menacing. Nice light on the subjects, but I agree with Darrel that the skin tones are a bit harsh. Maybe desaturate and brighten the red channel a touch?

You usually put out pretty nice work, so I was pretty concerned when I saw the first image...

Not bad for a $2 camera though.

I thought you droped the bit depth way down on the first image, it looks like an old GIF file from 15 years ago. Something is up with the colors. But it is a great image incredible for a disposable camera.
