Nice portrait. Woudl have prefferd to see more of the model and slightly less tight crop. A personal aspect of taste though. Well done.

Wonderful portrait. Bit less contrast would have been my preference but effective use of technique.

Young Love

Comment:
Good choice of models. God composition and effective use of DOF. Portrait let down though by impression that he is in sharper focus than her - with a narrow DOF both models need to be safely within the shallow focus plane.

Model in daffodils

Comment:
Attractive portrait. Artificial lighting does not appeal to me personally and this style of portraiture is effective for commercial purposes and for clients but rarely provides an attractive artistic image.

Casual portrait

Comment:
Good model but too much harsh light leading to washed out dress and too much shading in eyes (not helped by hair covering up these important features)

Eric

Hi eric! A competent portrait but a bit bland and uninteresting. Eric is a good model. Go for a walk with him and try some candid shots sitting, walking, talking etc. You will probably manage to capture somethign of his character.

My Baby

Comment:
A good subject but you are too close to do him/her justice. It's an unattractive image due to the model looking off frame and the awkaward angle of the mouth. Her right eye seems a bit red sugesting flash was used. Flash is deadly to human subjects. Natural light is infinitely preferable. Suggestion - place infant in a comfortable chair. Sit down 3-5 metres away, focus on her face against a neutral background, observe, wait and shoot. Sooner or later you'll get somethign better than this without even trying too hard.
