While this one is a little bit soft – shooting at 1/30s at 110mm is a bit of a gamble, even with IS – it does make me smile. And in case you're not familiar with our kids: Rhowan is the poser on the right, Harmony is silently protesting about being upstaged on the left, and Camilla is in the background.
As always, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

One cute model stole the attention from two others :)
Funny how each one seems to have something to post with - Whether it's a fashionable bag or a classic fan..
Apparently you have a very steady hand - 1/30s at 110mm with this sharpness.. Not easy to achieve.
Superb black and white conversion, but I guess I don't need to mention that with your photos by now :)

Posing indeed :-) Is she preparing to wave a kiss to the camera? Harmony's look is classic as well: "What is she doing again?!?" The softness doesn't matter much in moments like these...
jeeez a 1/30th, you are one jammy ...... or lucky, or both. In context the image works with the inherent softness, and whilst very tempting to try; the right hand side of the image would stand alone as an image, but the context would be lost and its meaning wholly wrong.

As always the treatment is excellent! It has a cool (as in temperature) feel about it which I'm sure was probably not the case! I am definatly signing up to your tutorials once I'm less busy with organising this big conference!

I love the style of this type of images. I would (try to) call it a "subtle monotone high key image". It's pretty refreshing to me.
The image itself looks like a fantastic snapshot, caught on the right moment (probably it is like that). So: very very nice, though probably not something to hang on your wall in super large format.
Beautiful shot, the blur edge. The very fine and accurate post. Wonderful work.
Greetings!

great shot. their posing looks very natural, as if they have always been in front of a camera.lol. they are very beautiful and to look so much like each other - you can still see their separate personalities showing through. what fun
Those eyes atract alll the attention, are the centre of the image, and this impressing postprocessing, doubtless you´re the master.

I like how each model has something unique going on. The hand placements. The outfits. The expressions and props in the case of the two on the left. A visual treat, to be sure.

Your kids are going to have a great family album to look back on when they're older. All the pictures of me as a kid are cringeworthy.
Loving your work.

Well, it makes me smile too - definitely one for the scrapbook. Thumbs up from this viewer.

It is such a lovely photo Dave. They are so so beautiful and I like very much the way you framed and blur the composition. First class as usual!
nice shot !
Gorgeous photograph David.
Libby and you must have immense fun and pleasure just watching your children grow. And they all seem to take to camera rather well.

Thanks everyone :)
sometimes sharpness matters, but not here. this is one of those shots that keeps you asking "what's happening?"
