some of the portraits are good.. but others the background is really distracting, which is unfortunately often the case in this situation.

Also, you need to work on your focus.. some of the action shots (? Im assuming they are anyway) are a soft.

Its more camera shake mixed with high ISO's the light was falling fast and I was using a really long lens. Thanks for the feed back can you tell me which portrait you think is strongest and why it is stronger than the others and also what would have made the others better.

Thanks again.

that's just freaky... i thought anime conventions were odd...

They seem to be trying to act erotic...or is that how Faerrie "normally" act?

Looks alittle wierd, but I bet it would be fun to go people (faerie) watching there....LOL

Are some of them kinda wacko and actually believe that they are faeries, like some of the people at the ranessance fairs believe they are actually in that world?

[newbie_photog]

None of the people I talked to believed they are actually faeries but most of them are kind of wierd. Being a bit wierd my self I get along with them pretty well. I'm not sure if it was suposed to be erotic but it sure came across that way in the photo. It was a lot of fun I was only there for about 4 hours and took about 200 images so all in all a good day.

Can I get more Critiques from this. I would like to get better but have a hard time seeing flaws in my own work sometimes. Be honest, I need to know what to change and fix. Thanks

I like the first and last ones for sure. Many of the others seemed a tad out of focus, or maybe that is from heavy dropping and noise reducers...not sure, btu they seem a little off...cant put my finger on it...

Thanks Superdiver, yeah I had some camera shake on them I was shooting at 300mm in low light.

Besides the bluryness how do you feel about the composition. What did I do good what did I do bad or could be better?

Thanks
