I don't normally take portrait photographs but took this at a friend's wedding reception and thought it was a good, natural family snap. What do you think?

I agree that the vignetting is too heavy handed - you might try instead a white vignette to keep with the overall tonal palette of the image. a little dodging of the catchlights would bring out the eyes even more...

Yeah Hils, it's a very good snapshot. I have to agree with Robert that the vignetting is overdone.

Hi hilaryjay/Hils, overall I really like the shot, you seem to have captured a connection between your subjects. However, I do find the vignetting a bit overdone. The colours also seem a bit muted and maybe you could boost them a bit. Take care, Rob.
