VERY nice... Love them! Can you share what lens & settings you used? This would be most helpful to people on the forum who are just learning.... Thanks.

Very nice. You have to get the guy when his eyes are fully open, in a few of the shots they look half closed.

The pics are mostly excellent. Posing, exposure, composition very nice. The girl is naturally photogenic. The guy needs more direction, I think. Anyway, they are great.

Love number 6 and number 8. Not a big fan of pointing pics as it often looks cliche. These are very good.

Yes, very nice indeed. #8 is my fav, but they are all good.
Indeed she is very photogenic, and seems a natural in front of the camera.
In #6, i would get rid of the bloodvessels in her left eye. I noticed that right away.

Thanks Maureen, for #1 to #7 I used the 24-70 f/2.8L from f/2.8 for the singles I think and f/5.6 for the couple shots.

For the rest I used my 70-200 f/2.8 at f/5.6 all the jpeg should still have embedded EXIF if you need em.

Thanks everyone for your comment, and yes Idefinitely need to work on getting him to relax and smile more naturally. Does anyone has any suggestion on getting people to relax I mean if you mean them for the first time for a shoot, how much time to you spend preshooting just to chat? Do you guys do it at all? Thanks again for taking time to comment on these.
