C&C Pictures for a friend

Thank you to everyone for your help. Taking the photos down at their request as they want to pick and choose what is out there.

Watch your attention to detail when you shoot. Dude has his keys hanging out of his pocket and you didn't notice it. Watch your composition, dead center is not always the best subject placement. Watch where stray light is hitting your subject. Notice in the second photo where the patches of light are hitting their heads? Learn to see and attend to that sort of thing.

I actually did notice the keys, that was the first picture I took. I saw the light on his head too. I do have some others that weren't with them in the center of the frame as well. Thanks for the tips.

PIctures 1,3, and 4 have allot of head room. I would agree with suecassidy about composition, maybe apply rule of thirds?

The images look to be very sharp. Colors appear muted, perhaps post processing?

You've received some good advice so far. I would add that framing can be improved on all. Try to get them all in the frame and if that's not possible crop between joints. I would also suggest using portrait mode, so named because of it fits a portrait format.

See first post.

The processing on these is MUCH better but still needs a bit of a boost in exposure - use "exposure" or "levels" adjustment. The 1st of the above set is quite good.....the 2nd has framing issues.

I didn't mean to bump the exposure in LR. I accidentally dropped it a stop somehow when exporting? Thanks. I'll readjust the exposure back to how it was originally exposed in camera. Still not sure how/why I dropped it a stop when exporting.
