unfortunately, the mottled lighting just kills any potential this shot has.

It has a fun feeling to it, I like the composition, the mottled lighting is just too much, but the overall composition is fun, should have gotten the girls out more in the front or less in the back!

Besides the mentioned lighting distraction, the balance on the shot is a little too "heavy" on the right side. If it was meant to be a candid shot then it is fine but for a shot that has even a little bit of setup it helps to balance things out visually. For this shot I would have shifted my position a little to the left to gain this balance.

I like the close intimate feel of the shot though, it reflects great family closeness.

I agree that the composition is cute, with the gentleman on the right with his head crooked.

I honestly had to look at this twice, though, because I thought at first that they all had polka dots on them! I suggest to do the shot again, but with the group standing in better lighting, away from a tree!
