The 2nd and 3rd are my favorites. Also the poster is nice. I think you
did a great job for not being behind the camera.....

The poster of the girl with the saturated background is great, the type could be a bit big for 'Rachel' in the second version. Your friend in the blue shirt looks a bit uncomfortable though, maybe should find something to do with his hands!

Well done!

i really like the lighting for all! i can see you worked on getting those faces lit. nice!

posters: i like the ps coloring on both. 2nd poster: i love the girls wardrobe but corset bunches up and creates a belly bulge (i think its just the way she's sitting in this particular pose) but i like bg fabric, her pose (maybe close her mouth and rid shadow under her nose), i never like text on pictures but for poster's sake-prettty cool.

that's great work!

Almost all the pics were at least slightly out of focus.
My remote does not fire off the auto focus. I have to focus on them then move into place. Usually while shooting we walk out of focus.
Its really hard to do this without good hands on the camera.
Good eye.

you might try taping off the floor at the edges of the lens' view so you're sure everyone is in the picture. Set it in aperture priority at f/16 or so to make sure everyone is in the zone of sharpness. And use the self timer instead of remote. It will make it easier for everyone to know when the shutter is going to release. I like the poster one a LOT. Great look. Did you just play around with layer blend modes?

I like #2 & #5. #3 is also good but you seem a bit OOF.
Nice work overall :)

no not blenidng modes.
I duplicated the layer, over saturated it then erased key parts in the subject leaving the over saturated highlights on parts of her (illusion of a light shining on her)
