Another try at new things - CC welcomed please

Hopefully I have the file sizes correct.

I tried fixing the one of my little boy and girl, and I had some others of her alone that I had taken a couple weeks ago. I pulled those back off my memory card, and played with Photoshop for a little bit.

I will list two in the initial post, and then two more under it.

Camera - 20D
Lighting - Alien Bees (2)
Lens - Tamron 28-75

Here are the next two.

Finally just bought a book to help me out with Photoshop. I have sooooooooo much to learn not only on my camera, my lighting, but in this program also.

I would have perferred if the pictures were pristine and I didn't have to touch them, but unfortunatley, I am learning and need a little off camera help.

Any advice is appreciated.

Great shots! I personally like the last one the best. The hair flips and arrangement of the legs along with the hat and the location of the hands show that the rule of thirds work even when at first glace the subject appears to be in the center of the frame.

Looks like she is a fun model and appears from these pics that she enjoys having her picture taken.

Nice Job!

Great looking shots, the second one is great

she is adorable!!

Great shots. You must be happy.

Great shots and adorable kids. Your daughter is just beautiful, and seems to have a ton of attitude. Really like the last one.

2 n 4 are the best IMO. Looks like you got the hng of things! Cute kids as well!

Great set of pics thanks for sharing

I think they look great. She really looks like she loves to model for you.

Great shots. Can't wait to see what happens when you figure all that stuff out. LOL

these are great!!!!. im not always a fan of B&W,but it is fantastic.

Fantastic series of portraits!

I like the last 3 but the first one doesnt do anything for me at all. The background and what they are standing on distracts me.

I think #1 is a good photo but the PP doesn't help it. There isn't enough behind the boy to balance the little girl. Looks like you used the vignetting tool on number 1 and IMO the center of the vignette is too far right of the picture center

My favorite is # 2. Sweet pose with a touch of attitude. Normally I wouldn't like text in a photo but I think here it works well.

Very nice overall. I would be pleased.
