But since you asked for some feedback: Lighting: You definitely could have used a bit more fill light, and to keep it from being to harsh I'd use either a diffuser or bounce it off an umbrella or white card. Composition: Nothing wrong with the group shot, but since the background is not particularly interesting, I'd have gotten closer and had a tighter framing of the group. Background: The bricks aren't particularly interesting, and the block of green tree between the columns was distracting to me. I'd probably have picked something else for my background, but given the construction going on you might have had little choice. Hope this helps.
