'The Group Portrait'

I asked some acquaintances to 'be themselves' for an informal group portrait, and this

is the result with holiday greetings from me to you. Your ratings, critiques and

observations are invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly, very critically, or wish

to make a remark, please submit a helpful and constructive comment; please share

your photographic knowledge to help improve my photography. Thanks! Enjoy! john

Just wonderful ... brings a smile :-)  ... thanks for sharing such gems!

Raters met this one with a yawn; and I learned a lesson.

I had more 'interesting' and 'unusual' photos from this session, particularly of the guy, upper right, but held back.

Next time I won't hold back -- but I'm glad that even this restrained version is something you enjoyed.

I certainly enjoyed not only showing it, but also taking it.

I smile each time I look at it, just apparently as you do.

Best to you.
