I like the collage idea, and I think it is pretty cool. I may try to lose the sun with the rays maybe. I don't know, it could be just me, but my eyes want to wander over there rather than view the subjects. Try it and see what you think. Otherwise, lovely concept, great idea, quite creative. Nicely done.

    thank you so much raksr yur the first one to give me a five rating ont ths one. I did two ersions of this paticular one, the pother one has a plain background but I felt it showed way to manyof the flaws in the portrait. I do agree that the egal does seem to bring the atention away from the main subject however, so I think I'll take yur adive and lose th bird.
    as always thanks so much for your review and adive as alwwys it is very welcome.
    I am attempting anothe one or my moterinlaw for her birthday of her entire family kids, grandkis, and great grandkids, allt ogheter 28 people. I hae hasd to re arange clothings, body types skin tones and everything to fit into an 8 X 10 not sure its going to fit properly so I'llhave to change it to a panarama. I would really love your adive on that one when I get it finished concidering that one is a gift for a woman Ilove as much as my motehr and I hope it makes her happy. any andive will be well taken.
    if you wouldn't mind could you message me your email so I could email the draft to you so you could give me some pointers on what might be wrong. it just doesn't seem to be soming togheter for some reason and I cna't put my finger onit. I'd really apprecaite your help in this

    You're quite welcome. Sure, I'll take a look. However, what I see and feel may not be the same as other people in the audience (the other reviewers). I will send you my e-mail address, and look at it when I have the moment. --Bob

Dang, girl. This is a lot of work. You did a good job considering all that you did with this. The only thing I can see is that the men on the right end and the guy in the hat are quite blurred and it is hard to make out their facial features. You composed this wonderfully and did an amazing job. Well done. :)

I think you did a great job considering all the work you put into this. The only drawback I see is the dark circle of eyes of the two men on the right. Other than that this is a very creative work of art. You have arranged everyone in a good manner that shows familiarity. Focus is extremely good, composition good, nice presentation, god detail, lighting and exposure. Kudos for going outside the box and trying something new. I don't think I would know where to begin. Thanks for sharing.

    thanks Martha for the review. The dark circles under the two guys eyes I tried everything I could to lighten that but it only made them look more wierd then they already are LOL they'r my brothers so I can say that lol..I think I might just replace them with Fabio and a younger Patrick Swayze, wonder if anyone would notice, but I could brag about how hot my brothers are LOl
    thanks for the input I''ll have to work on that again
    thanks again lynnkah
