I really like #3

I like #8. has a very moving expression on his face.

#4 and 8 for me

#3 tells a great story for me

3, 5, and 8 are really strong images

Alright. so 3 and 8 for the most of the people
Now tellme another thing.
as i havnt done this thing before. Shall i add a copyright thing on my image?
As i am gonna print on some big sheet , frame it and display on exhibition.
Any experience?

I personally prefer 4 even though the top of her head is cut off, I also think some of these would be great converted into high contrast black and white images

Gonna be a wet blanket here...IMHO, your colors are messed up...generally an excess of PP.

I think the direct hard flash mounted close to camera messes up your indoor shots. If you had used a diffuser or bounced the light I think it would have worked better.

I agree, don't like the first 2 at all for this reason.

3 is really good though, and i like 6,7 and 8

the 4th, 5th and 8th are all really good. 5th if you want to show the fun and smiles even in the midst, and 8th if you don't IMO.

3 and 4. I think I would like 3 more with the hand was more in focus. I would like 4 more if the composition was more like 3, keeping the top of the head.

3, 6 and 8 are good. 6 could use a bit more saturation/warming though (color on 5 is better)

composition on the rest is not very interesting
