Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of the four two sets of young brothers posing so they can soon open their presents. Beautiful composition with three pairs of eyes fixed on you & the other pair looking to your right (left in the picture) Beautiful lighting & framing with superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.

Thanks so much Susan, they are a handful we quite often babysit the younger two during the week and Leon (2) runs around after his cousin Zach (4) saying "Zachy, Zachy, Zachy play play with me."

Comment from Sange
No photo/ No presents! Ha! Works every time!:)
Cute capture of your Sweet Boys Mary!
I like how they all cuddled in close for the shot.
Nice exposure, eye clarity and focus.
Well done :)

Well I have suggested they try for another to make it rule of odds (a granddaughter would be good) Thanks Dick. :) Mary

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Mary, simply heartwarming how you captured this precious moment. They are snuggling together and I can hear their giggles.

As far as technical elements of the photograph go, they are sharp and you do not have a lot of disruptive background, the focus is totally on them .....and the emotional aspect has been caught in spades.

Simply lovely.
