Not having a "Studio" I improvised, by puting the kids on the floor under a window, with some extra lighting coming from some well placed lamps...The backdrop is a very colorful rug.

These guys look familier! But I can't quite place them :)

Nice shot but not classic in the sense of studio photography. The back and forth style is okay but kind of distracting overall. And I do beleive I just remembered where I saw them from! Will have to do a little research ;)

I gave this a 5, a more classical pose would garner a higher score. :)

Lighting: The lighting is harsh.
Pose: they could have been lined up better, to not give so much of a snap shot feel to it.
Background: fine.

A clever take on the challenge, and you somehow seem to have gotten them to enjoy cooperating!

I love the wonderful, happy expression on the boys' faces...I have three sons myself, and there's just nothing like seeing them so joyful. I do find this to be a bit of a stretch for a formal studio portrait, given the spontaneous nature of this image. That said, the lighting is effective, focus is good. :o)

Lovely creative idea. The boys look like they are having fun. I like the lighting, skin tones and lack of shadows

I like the way you presented this photo (with the long tall crop) ....gives it a lot of impact!

Looks like a fun bunch of kids! Wish they weren't so harshly lit though. It kind of makes them look flat. If ya move the lights to the side it will help a lot! It also looks like you tried to blur out all but their faces. It looks a little contrived and is distracting. With a little better lighting, and a little less editing this would be the bomb!

Flash is too bright (or whatever the light source was) ... and you can see where you've decided to selectively blur (middle boys necklace looks like a smoke ring). One boy has his eyes closed. Nice idea though.

Yeah!!, now I know where I have seen these boy's before...
The Human Turban!!! Am I right? Do I win a ribbon for this one?

Too many tongues, not enough eyes! Gray shade under chin of center boy is distracting.
Good idea, though.

looks like some nasty photoshop blurring at work here which spoils an otherwise good photo.

maybe horizontal it would have worked better.

I realy don't like how you have blured the body of the boys. And the expression of the boy in the middle are not like on the other two boys. But thats just my 5 cents ...
