Kerry and Patrick - Balboa Park engagement session

C&C are always welcome.

1.

Really nice set. I love your framing in #2. Also love the pretty, natural light.

The photos with the heart leaf are fantastic. What a cool idea.

I love that park so much, too.

I miss Balboa Park!!!!!!! Nice pics BTW! Were you just using a 580ex flash?

Thank you very much. It was getting off to a rough start, so I told them to just hang out for a few minutes while I took a few shots. I then posed them a little and came out with this.

Thank you. They are a bunch of plant geeks (their words) and Patrick showed me this leaf. I think it came out cute.

Thank you. The only one I used a flash on was #7, and I actually bounced it into a reflector to get a little softer light.

Phenomenal work.

A very minor tweak would be less concrete and more sky in 6, my eyes keep trying to figure out what those white things on the ground are. But I also have horrible ADD so its your call if this is good advice or not

Thank you very much CTP.

For number 6, I completely understand where you are coming. Doing fisheye portraits has become kind-of a signature thing for me, but I love to do them when you may not really know if it was done with a fisheye or not, therefore placing them in the center of the frame. I fear that putting them too far down would REALLY accentuate the curve at the top and distort them in the process.

Really nice shots. Like your work a lot. Keep it up

Great shots!

Oh really?! It sure is a small world.

The whole set is really nice...but #2 is killer and I really like the light in #3.

Excellent set, Bryan. Aside from the wonderful photography, you did a great job of getting their personalities to shine through in these images.

Thank you. The shot turned out a lot better than I had expected.

Thank you Bob. It was really hard to warm up the first 45 minutes or so, but after that I we had a great time.
