This was semi-candid (my friends don't know I took it), so I can't reproduce it.
I'm just wondering what I could have done to make it look even better!
Post-processing brightened the colors slightly.





They were both taken on the same day using a Canon SD1000 point-and-shoot.

Hi slanger,

I would look at straightening up the horizon - the two girls on the right look a little like they might start sliding any second.
I'm also finding the out of focus sand at the front a little distracting so I might look at cropping some of that out (not necessarily all of it though)

I love the colours though & really like that the girls are all looking off in the same direction & that you have left some space for them to be looking into on the right. A tiny bit of tweaking & you have a great capture of the time spent together.
