Eric & Cousin

First off - I apologize. For the life of me, I cannot remember Eric's cousin's name.
Ugh. Anyways took some pictures of my buddy Eric & his cousin yesterday.
Just got around to processing 'em. C&C, edits, tips n' tricks, etc. always welcomed

Eric:

Not a single comment? Do they suck that badly?

I like numbers 1 and 2. The rest I'm not so sure about.

The first one is great!
I don't care for the cropping on the rest of them. I think you should try to get all of them in the frame. You have cropped elbows, tips of shoes, fingers, etc....

1st one is the winner of the bunch.

I like the 1st and the last in the bunch.. The only really cc that I can give is watch for the cropping.. Try not to cut people off at the joints... Nice work otherwise...

First one and last two are my faves! Agree with the previous posters about the cropping. Overall good job though!

Thanks all I just couldn't back up enough to keep all the limbs in the frame

Harsh sunlight eh? Tough to get a great shot off...like the first photo.except for the post...
There are tree boughs coming out of their heads ;(
The last is a nice conversion....

Gotta watch them background pesky things

3 & 5 are my favorites. Bright sunlight is hard to expose for. Some fill flash would help.

I used some fill light with the XT's built in flash. But mostly with a -1 stop compensation.
It was either too much or just not enough. I'll see if I can get some more of Eric and his
cousin (still can't remember his name, I feel bad about it) with all of the comments in mind
