I really like #4 and #6. Great use of a beautiful sunset. These make me want to get out try that kind of shot myself.

Well done.

Beautiful family and sunset. You did a good job of matching the fill flash to the ambient light while retaining the sunset colors.

The only change I would like to see is for you to move the family off center a bit more, the way you did in the second and fifth images. Placing them dead center is rarely the best for composition.

Nice set. I would correct dad's tan lines around his eyes. You can blend it using clone or the brush in Photoshop.

Thanks for the upbeat comments...Jim, I don't think its tan lines..I think it is just his complexion. I did do some fixing up of that on a select few which were closer in, headshot like; but, for the most part, I left that as is because its....as he is...

Great job of fill and ambient. It is not always easy to do when the sun is setting.
