faux e-session

Grabbed two of my friends and had them model for me. Let me know if these are alright.

I hope your two friends are at least a couple, or else this would really be awkward. :)

I like the composition and the colors, although almost all of the poses are done in such a way that hides their faces - I'd think that with engagement photos, people would want to see faces.

In the last pic, I would have liked the light through the shadows to have highlighted something besides the guy's butt. But I know you don't control the leaves on the trees. :)

Still, I love the bokeh, I think the tilt in #1 is just fine, and I'm loving the greens and yellows!

Thanks for the critique. Yea, I need to show their faces more, I have a couple, but I just don't like them as much. Here are some.

Wow what a small world, the girl is my wife's younger cousin! nice pics, i've been meaning to pull them out for a photo session but never got around to it...

[Ichiban]

haha, small world indeed.

Maybe I am old fashion, but the clothes they wore for an engagement session doesn't do it for me... Just looks like super casual shoot.... IMHO

[Ichiban]

Your right, but his shoes definitely don't do it, if he had some dress shoes it would've been better. But they were just helping me out, so I didn't really care what they wore.

i recognize these from i-club

all of these could use a little shallower DOF, in my opinion.
(other than pic #2 which I like a lot)

also, maybe darken up the spots where you can see his scalp? That really bothers me for some reason.

#2 is great :)
