Winter Assignment, 1st attempt the re-edits

Ann McRae

Well, Scott was able to provide me lots of good guidance in this thread, so I actually finished editing the photos properly, and reposted many.

Gallery

and some faves:










Still looking for tips! Weather is supposed to be okay all week so may get a chance to reshoot Friday.

Much better!!!!

It's hard to pick a favorite but #1 is in the top 3

#1 - Is this a crop or is this what came out of the camera. If it's a crop, I think you might want to take another look at how tight you are against the knee of the oldest boy.

Thanks, Scott. Think I can show these to the customer?

1 is not cropped, funny how similar the 50mm and 85mm look when you grab them ffrom your bag . I moved one of the kids faces from a different shot (same pose) to get a better smile.

Fixing the blue and adding some pop made a difference, I think

I looked at the entire gallery (yup - that took a lot of time ) and I don't think there's a single one to be ashamed of, so sure - time for the Grand Revealing!

He,he,he ...all 12 of them?!

I talked to the mom last night and she seems really pleased and did not take me up on the offer of a reshoot. Her feedback was interesting - oldest and youngest are more serious kids so she wasn't surprised at their stiffness. You'll never believe which is her favorite?

but she was hoping I could find a smile for oldest. Then the one on the rail, sitting oldest to youngest.

I found eyes for the 'got blinkers' shot, just not sure they look right


May need another go at it.

Nice shots. If they were my kid's I'd want them all. My favorite is # 11. You can almost see their own personality coming out. I like #7 except for the youngest boys hands. If Mom's favorite is #8 that's great - I would get rid of the shine in the boys crotch.
