Elegant Buttons

Nicely crafted still life with buttons. The color contrast between the gold buttons and the rich purple silk is very nice and the highlights/shadows caught by the silk really shows off it's texture.

This is nice. There is a bit of a yellow cast like you said. I am not sure of the fix for that. It looks like you took this in the late afternoon sunshine close to the golden hour. One thing to try with the light it to stand so the sunlight is at the 3 oclock or 9 oclock position behind your subject, then be sure to expose for the subject and not the background by using a center point exposure metering. You will get a nice highlight on the edges of the model and the light will be amazing. Use a wider aperture... f5.6 or lower down to f2.8. Also try an uncluttered background like a tall shrub or the edge of a tree line and be sure to have her stand a good distance from the background outside. (5 to 10 feet minimum.)

Nice attempt here at the self portrait with your gal! Good color and the shadows have some detail. Nice smiles and it's good you got the camera pointing up due to the position of the sun. By doing that you let the light get in your eyes so you didn't get those really dark shadows in the eyes.

Such a great portrait! Unfortunately, this is about 1 stop underexposed.

Neat composite! I like the portrait. I think your color is a little blue here. The white shirt and the skin are off. Other than that, great expression and again an interesting composite that tells a story.

So much fun! The real shot is with the four girls seated. I know the standing girl is important, but unfortunately she is excluded from "the moment." Compositionally, the photo should be cropped to include only the four seated girls!

I think the color is somewhat off here. The light is really yellow making the pancakes look a little unappetizing. Also the light should be uch more diffuse. Here you have a lot of specular highlights. Lastly you got a little too close as the shape of the heart is lost.
