Best thing ever

I took this photo today when i was getting off the bus.

This is my family photograph.I believe that this came out quite well but there a deffinatly a few things both Formaly and conceptualy that i could change to make it better. I had been expirementing with the idea of using shadows and siluets in my pictures in other projects. This photo was an extension of work thaat I had already done. In this photograph the formal and conceptual issues overlap but I will try to keep them seperate as best I can.
Formaly there is one big problem and that is quite obvious. There is a table in the forground which blocks the center pf the photo. The table was there because my face (the one that is cut out) did not have enough light, and the small spot light I had was not strong enough to reach from any farther tham the table. If i were to do this again i would find a better spotlight. Another problem is that the people are to crowded together. What I really needed to take this photo was a much large sheet and to move the camera back so that the actors could have more room.
Conceptualy I am satisfied with the photo. my family were good actors and sports and it resulted in what I think to be and interesting photo. My mother was a bit sloched over and if she had been standing strait I think that I could have better captured her siluet. Also as I said before the sheet that I used was not big enough. This resulted in my family having to squish together. Personaly I do not like that effect and would have like each person to have been more defined.
