Sure

As I said, well within the rules.

Absolutely within the rules - you can fly over your own backyard and family and you can fly over friends and others backyards with their permission - no dramas at all with that shot. Can't fly over people in public or populated areas, or other backyards where permission hasn't been granted. Only thing that could make this shot illegal is if the house where the pic as shot was within 5.5KM of a controlled Airport (assuming that the pool and backyard was the OP's place)

I admit I don't understand these rules, but reading Tombie's post, does that mean you can't fly closer than 30 metres to any building, including your own house? It doesn't state your own house is excluded from the rule.

Also, does that mean if you drive somewhere to fly your drone, you have to move at least 30 metres away from your own vehicle, and any others?

Also, if most cities are controlled airspace, does this mean no drone can be flown above 120 metres in a city?

Interesting.
