Love the first shot, the second image could use lighting work (a little bit of fill would have helped).

Very cute kids! The second one is a little shadowy which is a shame. The last one is my favorite! love the tongue! Great shots!

Shouldn't the focus be on the main subject, The DEERE tractor? :lol:
Only kidding, They composiions are good and the exp seems fine.

Love the first shot, the second image could use lighting work (a little bit of fill would have helped).The shadow from fill flash in #2 is evident behind the boy's left foot. It doesn't bother me though, and I think you got the balance about right. The image may be just a tad too bright overall.

#3 is my favorite, I'd really like to see a color version.

I did that last one on the monochrome setting on the 5D, so I do not have the color version of it..

I can only see hard natural lighting across both feet and on the jeans of the girl. Is that the fill light you are referring to?

IMO, both faces in that picture could use a bit more light.

The fill flash is slightly to camera right (camera was rotated with the grip hand down), casting a shadow from the boy's left foot onto the wheel of the tractor.

Curtis, I still can't see the flash; I would also expect to see a light reflection it in the eyes and it's not there either (to me). But I'll take your word for it. :)

This is exactly as it was.

You can see the shadow from the flash, by looking at HIS left foot, look at the rim of the tractor tire. Its right there.


Thanks for the nice words about my photos everybody!

Do you think that 3 lacks contrast?

better in mono but give them more depth.
