Your C & C would be greatly appreciated

I just took this pic of my nephews and son and wanted some c & c. I am just a beginner that is trying to take some really nice sharp family pics. I know they look a little blurry and want to see want can be done to change that. I used a Canon T2i with a canon 50mm 1/8 lens. f/5.6 1/200sec ISO-800 in "M" mode. What program should I use to edit my pics?

At the resized resolution, the photo looks sharp to me. It is a nice family photo.

Thanks, I guess I just expect to much. Now when I zoom to original size, I do see a little bit of the blurriness. Is there a way of getting that sharp? or should I just not worry about it.

If you post a crop of 100% zoom then we may be able to see what it is and then, if possible, suggest corrective actions.

Hiya, I hope you dont mind, I did a realy quick edit in lightroom, I didnt change much, I just upped the exposure and white balance to make it slightly warmer, cropped it in a bit closer and then ever so slightly upped the clarity and sharpening. You get much more sharpening tools in photoshop but my recommendation is if you want to take good family pictures without using a flash I would recomend doing them outside. You need lots of light so that your camera can have a fast shutter speed to avoid any kind of blur. The photo you took is sharp enough, not bad at all, im no expert by the way, just a recommendation

Thanks for the info and edit of the picture. I think it looks great. I actually forgot to add that I used a canon 430exii flash for the pictures.
