I LOVE 3, 6 8, 11 & 12, but my favOrite is 3...awesome! Too bad about the car in 5, but it's still really good. 1: I wish her chin had been out a little more, so her neck was more defined. Not sure how I feel about their feet cut off in 2 (looks like an accident), but would love to see more shots on that bridge! Her body looks amazing in 10, which I'm sure she'll love! Great PP, colors, B&W conversions, of course!

BTW, you copied me on #3! LOL

Love the first and last one of that second set, but they're all good!

Wonderful! Just wish they still had their feet in #2. Other than that, seriously, these kick ass.

There is an alternative to #2 a few posts up

Thanks Jen!

They're all good, #4 is great! I think you need to work out some more poses though.

They all suck. Better luck next time.

:p I'm kidding of course. Like you don't hear you're wonderful enough. I really like 4, 11 (I think--the umbrella one) and the last one. I have a feet-under-the-bench shot of my parents that, like yours, only has three legs in it. it took me a while to notice and now it drives me crazy, but nobody else has ever noticed. I like the idea needless to say, but if I were to do the pose again, I'd try to get 4 feet in there.

EDIT: When I said 11, I meant 12. But 11's great, too (as are the rest!)

bcap, I like #3 and #6. The best part about your images is the use of light! Did you use fill flash, off camera flash, natural light? They are all so bright and colorful

They're wonderful Bryan!

Congratulations on the first solo step towards your dream! You did an awesome job.

#1 is crop too tight .

#2 is also just liltle tight cut off at their foot .

#7 is too far away ...the ground took too much space on the photo .The river and the sky is nice to show .

#10 I just don't understand yet ...if you trying to show the kiss ,I think #9 is the one showing the kiss .

That just some of my opinion .

Thanks for the honest feedback guys! That is truly what I was looking for and I'm glad I got some tips/hints on what I can improve on next time!

MrsOpie - as for the lighting, they were all lit with 1 on-cam 580 and 1 off-cam 580, position differently for each shot, I switched to manual for some of them, and for others, dialed in some FEC and varied the ratio between the flashes. If you point out a specific one, I'm sure I could recall some of the settings/position of the flash.

Here is another one that I LOVED:

Actually, I'm not fond of the off-camera flash in the last one. Because the photo looks candid, the extra light from the side looks really odd to me. I find that off-camera lighting looks the best on more posed shots or where the subjects are sitting, or not moving at least. Also, the flash is a bit too strong and there are some blown highlights.

On a second note, you just have to be more careful about cutting people's feet off! There's another in the second set with this problem.

But maybe I'm just weird.

Otherwise, they look awesome! Good job!

Good call, yeah I need to watch the feet. Oops! Good thing I got like 20 shots on that bridge where the feet WEREN'T cut off

B,

Wow awesome shots. Agree with others, some pics show their feet got cut off.

Your last 2 favorite pics (with umbrella and kissing on the bridge) are very very nice

BTW, how did you do # 3 ? What setting ?

Thx
