Thanks! It's all natural lighting since I can't afford extra equipment right now, so I just played around with the exposure in manual.

They look great! Start charging $ if you haven't done so already~

Veryt nice!
suggestion on #1:
Move her to the right a bit to get searation between the young lady and the wagon wheel/ vertical line in the wall. also perhaps rotat photo a bit clockwise so the vertical line in the wall is vertical.

other than that superb work!

You did a great job!

Thanks for the advice, now that you mention it, it would look a lot better if I could get the line on the wall lined up.

Haha well since most of them are my friends I made it $20 which I know is really cheap, but since I'm still practicing, it's okay for now.

Excellent work! I like these.

Did you touched her eyes in PP? Gosh these greenish eyes looks gorgeous!

Great job! What camera and lens did you use?

Thanks for the compliments!
I barely touched her eyes in PP, I can post one of the before pictures later.

I used the Canon Rebel T1i and the lens that it came with..like I said, I don't really want to spend all the money right now to get better equip, so I'm probably going to wait until I'm in college.

Keep going, these are great
And here is a good example,Is not the camera or the lens always.
These are very sharp, I am surprised, I never could get very sharp photos with the canon kit lenses.....

I thought these pics were taking with a more expensive set up. I was surprised when you said it was taking with T1i with kit lens. Did you do any editing?

Keep up the great work!!

Great work! I wish I had your skills when I was your age or even now.
