Belt Children

Before this, I hadn't done a portrait of a small group (3 or more) before.

Usually I shoot individuals and couples, so this presented some

interesting challenges. Although it was a Christmas portrait, I chose

not to shoot it as such. I chose instead to make a more elegant image

that only hints at the time of year.

Your thoughts and comments are welcomed.

I liked the lighting most; difficult to adjust for three people.

If I number your three models from left to right as 1, 2 and 3; this is the order I would sit them: 2, 3, 1.

In the present state, we follow their heads and exit the frame towards lower right with a down-slope.

Rearranging the level of their heads might help to keep the attention within the frame longer, I guess.

I would not include the background picture of flowers (serves more like a distraction than a compositional element).

I haven't done anything this complicated myself; so please take my suggestions with a grain of salt :)
