    Four of these, I really like. I like the framing and point of view, also, your exposure and color seem "spot on". The backgrounds all work for me, too. And I like the fact that you've gently tweaked the horizon line in a couple of them, without overdoing it. I'm probably too conservative about that, lol, but I also don't like it when it seems contrived and overdone. You got it right, imho.

    My only criticism would be the 3rd shot -- it has too much white in her shirt, coupled with a kind of extra bland skin tone in her face, that really weaken the shot. That's of course partly an error of wardrobe choice, but I also think the fact you have her in flat light, and have framed the pic with almost a full bottom right quarter of white -- well that is under you control.

    Hope this is helpful...

    Thank you for the detailed feedback. Completely shooting in manual these days so comment on color and exposure is well taken. Have worked hard to get this right. The dreaded white shirteek7.gif Personally I don't care for them at all but it was the choice of the girl. I have many shots of her so will try to frame this a little different if possible with less shirt and more background or surroundings. Really enjoyed the seniors. A breath of fresh air after sports and small kids.

    Appreciate all the feedback and the compliments. Feedback taken and working on the others of her. Man is it hard with the white shirt and pale skin combo.
