    I think you did a good job here. The main thing I notice is your angle never really changes. It always straight on and you are standing straight up in all but 1 or 2 it looks like. Also your composition is always centered. try and use the rule of thirds. I think these are good, but there is always room to improve!

    Thank you for your honest opinion. thumb.gif
    Yeah, you are totally right about the angel. :lol4

    I have to look through my originals again to see if I can find someone that is different and more interesting, and follow the rule of thirds.

    I agree that the portraits appear static because of the centered subjects as well as the crops/compositions.
    Number eight for instance, I find it odd that the space is behind him instead of in front of him. It appears that there is no room to blow bubbles...
    The same applies to number seven to some degree...
    I really like number two but I find the spots of sunlight distracting from the couple especially right over her forehead.
    I realize the difficulty of shooting in broad daylight and can appreciate your efforts to thwart the sunlight

    Suggestions for the two year old.....
    I have many little ones in my family, distraction is key and shoot between the shots, you will eventaully hit one.....

    Yes, I need to work on my "static-ness". lol.
    I also agree with you on the space, I had to shoot fast and I was in the wrong spot with my 50mm...
    On the couples shot I should have position myself differently.

    The sun was really harsh and it was impossible to not get any sunlight in their faces. From now on I will try to book my shots later in the afternoon and not at 10:00 in the morning.

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my shots and give your opinion! I learn so much from in, and it make me see my mistakes! Next time I will try to make it better.
