With or without blur?

I think the blurred one works better.

The light looks really harsh..Where did you bounce it from? Maybe lower the highlights...

Agreed

Up and to the side - I had to lighten the bottom of the image, as the flash couldn't reach that far. Hmm.


Lowered the highligts a bit:

Did you try the pull out white card for some forward flash?

Half way up.

Gave it a bit of vignette too:

Have you tried cropping off the right edge?

 

[wud]

Yes, tried a billion crops lol. But think it needed some 'air'..

And the more simple one:

 

[Jonathan]

[wud]

Other than the angle and the loss of the top of the father's head, I like this one best.

That's the worst one! Terribly stilted, and bits of peoples bodies missing.

Seriously, get over it. People been cropping parts of for decades.

And that's a pretty lousy comment.

Very sorry you think that's a lousy comment. I was asked my opinion and I expressed it. No intention to be nasty, just honest. I love your other work, and I sympathise with your nerves. I've never had to deliver to order, and don't know if I could, but please don't bite my hand like that. I have no problem with cropping, even though I'm new to this game, but do you seriously consider the last to be your best take on this shoot? In my opinion (which counts for naught) the first you posted is the best of the bunch. That's me done, hopefully with a handshake because it's just my opinion, which should count for naught.

What was the flash mode? I´m guessing TTL...
