Very nice love 1St photo as a teaser. Not a fan of the scarf but very nice set.

Just worked it out, I think - is it an engagement shoot?

Hey there! Nice series. Technically these are REALLY good. I think your processing is nice and clean and exposure and lighting are really well done throughout. I like 6 best out of the set, though that is the only one I don't really care for the processing. I have however been trying to adjust to a new monitor and though calibrated it does tend to fool my eyes some so it may be me. Love the comp and natural expressions though.

On the more negative note, I don't care for most of the comps. Mostly because of feet cut off at the ankles and hands cut off at the wrists. The one with the pup he looks uncomfortable... presumably the dog... and his knees are bunched up kinda oddly. In 8 they seem quite distant, and that doesn't appeal to me. When going off center as in 4, it is my preference in most cases to have the negative space in front of them.

As I said above from a technical, operating your camera type aspect these are really good. Thanks for sharing.

Matt,
Thanks for the comments! I did do some cold cross processing on 6... my wife liked the look, but I understand how it's not for everyone. I totally agree with the comps in terms of cutting off limbs. I shot all these with my 80-200 and didn't always have adequate room to get their entire bodies in the frame.
In 10 with the dog, they were struggling a little bit to keep the dog in their laps, hence his leg positioning. The shots with the dog actually turned out better than I though (I don't like shooting with pets, they don't listen as well).
For 4, this shot was not planned.... they were running around the yard with her on his back and I was adjusting settings and my wife said, "hey get this shot" and so I did... just not as well as I could have.

Thanks again for the C&C.... seems hard to come by these days. :D

I'd just crop out the chair on the left and straighten the white door post to vertical, and otherwise leave it just as it is! The dog is just being a dog!

And I just love those shoes in 1 (still). I can't stop coming back to look at it. It's a clever composition and very well executed.
