probably only focusing on the very center as, everyone he took pictures of was in the middle of the frame.

Yeah, the heads are in the middle with feet cut off but loads of space above them filled with things like that white lintel in the second shot, or the blown out windows in the dance shot. Heads should be in the upper part of the frame without half the frame lost to nothing, it is also important to either shoot "full length" shots, without cutting off feet.

The first shot should be portrait orientation, and much tighter framed. We don't need to see all those other people in this shot, we certainly don't need to see the back of the heads on the right or that empty table on the left, why are they in the shot?

The last shot, of the boy, is a nice shot. The others are the definition of snapshots I am afraid. I hope you were there as a guest and just taking extra shots, and not the official photographer.

I agree with the framing, but, the last shot is a really good candid shot, I liked that one a lot, and the images you captured (although not framed good) are nice. At least some of this can be helped by post cropping. :)

Good shots! You need to give your subject more space, you are tighten the composition around the subjects.


Lots of cool Canon Gear
