 I'm not sure why, but Gramma thought these would be a great gift. They are plastic wrap for leftovers, but my sister and I had other ideas.

Ha! These kind of moments are so important to snap - they will be cherished in decades to come. I'd say food storage covers, unless they get a haircut - lol.

Answer: It depends. Is this a photo of a meal for vampires?

I don't realy know where to begin my comment, so let me start by stating that I will vote this pic higher than I would based on technical aspects alone. Why? Because you managed to capture the fun and if a picture captures emotion, it can't be all that bad.

Now let me try and help you make a better shot next time. First of all, be very carefull using your onboard cam. The least you should do is diffuse the light by holding or taping a folded tissue in front of it. Other methods of relefecting and dicffusing light may also help to avoid shiny skins and harsh shadows. Second, try to keep your final composition in mind. A simple but very effective rule for portaits is to keep the eyes of the main person at 2/3 of the pic's height, width or both. Third, if you are shooting more than one person, use a slightly higher f-number in order to keep the second person in focus as well.

Hope this is of any use to you.

blurry, out of focus, lighting

Distracting lighting, I would say that the two girls shoudl have been the main focus, not just one, ie - both of them should have been in focus.
