Family hike

[JustinRyan215]

This weekend, my family and I headed up to my -in law's house in north east Pa, and whenever we go there, we travel to Salt Springs State Park, for some hiking. There a three waterfalls, and miles of trails.

My wife said that she would like a shot of us as a family on one of these hikes, so, of course I complied! We stopped at my favorite boulder in the creek, just below the first waterfall, and set this shot up, and surprisingly, my title guy was somewhat cooperative!

Wonderful family shot. Always hard to make these self-timer(I presume) look natural, but his looks great.

Quite a nice casual family portrait - I dig it! i also like the lines in the boulder.
If I had one and a half comments (and I realize this is hard with self timer) it would be to watch the placement of items behind the head.
In this case there is a tree right behind your head. Of course it's not the end of the world but did want to mention it for the future.
The other half comment would be to watch the open legs, crossing them or having them outstretched and crossed tends to look even better.

Exactly! And job well done on the self portrait.

And everyone's got decent shoes on for hiking too. That's a big ass log!

Actually, that is a giant slab of, I think, granite. I love this rock, you can almost see the eons that went by in the process of making it, in the layers!

I read 'rock' but figure this giant log was sitting on it! Great looking rock then!
