Hi everyone. Just wanted to share a few photos I took of some friends this passed weekend. They are a little cliche and processed, but they liked them, so that's all that really mattered to me. Any comments, critiques, and suggestions are always appreciated. Thanks!

I like them. They all are really cute, but they seem really soft too.

They are pretty. Some seem a bit underexposed, but that's a pretty easy fix unless you intended them that way...

I know you were going for a certain look, but I'd back down on the blur, or smoothing that is done.. maybe what you were going for, and if so... I'd leave it alone.. I just perfer my images to have a little more clarity. :)

Thanks guys! The softness was what I was looking for, but maybe it is a little much. I'll try a few adjustments and see how they are. SOOC they are razor sharp, but didn't really fit the mood I was going for. Thanks for the suggestions!

Excellent shots but I agree they would look better if the soft glow was toned down a bit.

I Love number 3! Maybe you could tone down the soft glow on their faces so their eyes are still sharp.

I agree with the others that they might look a little too soft, but they do look nice.

My fave is the last one--but that may be because it isn't as soft as the others...

I'd love to see some of these redone to reduce the blur/softness. You could have some real winners here.

So...I guess some of these are soft? LOL! J/K! Thanks for all the feedback...I'll tone down my "toning down" :)

Great creativity and I like the soft focus affect. I've done a bit of maternity too which can be seen on my blog, which you will get to via www.cherishphotography.net.au
