A very kind member pointed out a very important thing i was missing, so this mornings shoot was mainly focused on composition. Let me know what you guys think.

P.S. These are in color ;)

Lovely composition on all, but 2 and 4 work really well for me.

Yup, these are all very nicely composed.

Did you alternate AF points? I use a single AF with spot AF on it and tend to move it around to suit different compositions.

Center AF with Center metering, mainly since the center is the most sensitive and accurate. The fact that i have not been able to acquire my flash yet forces me to use natural and available light which proves to be quite tricky in a lot of situations haha

Thanks for the comment Ian :)
