Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A40
Date: Mar 4, 2009
Date Uploaded: Mar 4, 2009

This shot was set up and taken by the boy on the right. Dad put the camera on the tripod and set it to timer mode. Composition and art direction was then all Aidan. Editing was a bump in exposure and a sharpen. The vision of a 6 year old.

Oh, great, all I need on this site is competing with another Too! He'll be ribboning in 6 months.

Gave it a 6, BTW.

Looks like a snapshot

Obviously not trying very seriously!
Who's to blame, though? That's what we'd like to know.

Buzz Lightyear is about the only thing normal in this family. :P

where's the tutu? Those are the biggest 'peeps' I've ever seen. Fun shot!

Looks like a flash photo (and they shouldn't). But, it's full of good fun.

Interesting family portrait :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 07:58:53 PM
This is fun and goofy, but the lighting reflecting off the glasses is distracting and so is being able to see the wall behind the cloth.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Sorry...not going to get the brown from me. 10

Lighting could be better but good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:52:26 AM
Maybe you could have tried a different composition with better lighting...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 09:07:14 AM
Holy cow! I don't think I have ever seen anything like that before...those are some rather large stuffed peeps!!!:-) Heh, a can't help but smile at this candid shot showing a happy family of silly goofs:-) Being silly and happy is good:-)...especially when the whole family is into it. I will impart just one little critique on what I see as just a fun shot - I would get rid of the red eyes on the young lady so that the lovely eyes shine:-)

Now, which one of the Too`s took this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:03:35 AM
i wonder who's this is :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:35:31 AM
Back to comment, and I like this better second time through so you get a bump also. Maybe just a snapshot, yet it's a great family moment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:30:13 AM
I'd pay good money to see the Too's candid family album.... :D

Okay, so I'm going to apply the (top secret) 'Family Happy-Snap Scale' to this. It starts at maximum points right off the bat, thanks to the classic red-eye. No family snapshot should be without red-eye, it's simply not done. Comes hand in hand with blinding flash, which is another absolute must. The crazy facials keep it hovering at maximum still, but...... [sigh] you lose significant points for not drawing a goofy expression on Buzz. There's no excuse for that I'm afraid. Sorry.

03/14/2009 10:15:58 AM
What a fun bunch!! I think I've seen you guys before, but I don't think I've ever seen giant peeps before! I like all the different poses you got from your models - and I like Rowan's red eyes - they go nicely with her bunny ears! I'm glad you decided to do a photo shoot and enter the challenge!

Just a snapshot, but I love silly faces. Gotta give you kudos for entering this one. I'm afraid you are going to get creamed with the votes, though.

For a minute, I thought Buzz was flippin me off! :-) This clan looks familiar, but can't recall where I saw them before. Hmmm... maybe it was on some reality show about some 8 year old bearded kid and his antics. :P
  Photographer found comment helpful.

hey, i know you. lol. Cute photo, gave me a laugh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:23:01 PM
Could have removed the red eye from the girl's eyes... the direct lighting is rather harsh. The composition is really rather off balance. Very snapshoty.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:41:49 PM
tooo much ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:22:39 PM
Too much sugar? lol I never saw those big, stuffed PEEPS. Very cut.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:15:37 PM
It's the Buzz Lightyear that makes this shot. ;-) All through voting, I was curious what you'd enter.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:47:46 PM
A tacky snapshot to me complete with redeye but maybe that was what you were going for? hahaha. The kids look like a lot of fun to be around tho!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:44:13 PM
nice family snapshot, light is a little harsh though...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
