hey focus point you're doing a great job, just want to encourage you with some pointers. The facial expressions are a little off, if you could have them smiling that would be great
Also on the last picture the flower is dying
Keep up the good work man, photography is tough

Yeah - I thought the flowers were a bit wilted. Also - look for some better expressions, and flattering angles of your subjects. Some cleaner backgrounds would be a plus as well.


Some Canon cameras. Some Canon and Sigma glass. Speedlites, and a few other goodies.

I never get comments on my pics either focus. DOnt worry about it :) I guess if ya get no comments then they arent that bad :) Im not critic, but your first one would look better if his eyes were open looking into hers OR if they were actually kissing. Second looks like you caught them off guard. She looks like she is thinking "just take the damn picture!" And 3rd pic, well its been said. The wilted flower, not good..

Cheers

No comments = your doing better than most

1st one is my favorite. The 2nd and 3rd are sharp shots but they dont appear to be happy together. E-sessions are difficult your off to a good start!

Nice shots overall. The only thing I would add to the previous comments would be to maybe clone out the person in the backgroud of #1. Just something that was drilled into my head in high school, always watch the background. Doesn't destroy the shot, but I would want someone to tell me that if I were asking for CC.
