So this is my first attempt at sharing photos on a photography forum; I think the challenges are a cool idea and figured I would post a couple recent photos. I've been inspired by a lot of the shots on here, and would appreciate any feedback
Well, first time I have posted anything here, image wise (maybe even text wise). Here goes
#1 Anticipation (a dog happened to wander into the park where the shoot was taking place, the child spotted it and got all excited. I just happened to catch the anticipation on the child's face at that moment. It was instantly over as the child ran over to the dog and started petting it) lens, 70-200Lf2.8 body, 350d
#2 Love for Daddy (the child is enamored with her father and loved any and all attention from him) Lens, 70-200Lf2.8 body, 350d
#3 Without a Net (the artist was at the apex of his solo and just let it all out. The crowd went wild behind me!) lens 70-200Lf2.8, body 20d
I'm really not sure that I've done this right, i.e. posted this in the right spot, but I guess there's only one way to find out. For a newbie, there are so many things to look for and at. But I am here to learn, so,... here goes. :-)

You're only as good as your next photo....
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me." Truman Capote
I can't believe I missed the "view from above" challenge, that's my specialty. This is actually my first challenge. It is also my first attempt at any portraits other than my children. I'll bet you can even guess when they were taken.
1. "Exhausted" *
My son after walking with his baby sister through the entire town. Candid in a friends home, I changed the background. On camera flash covered with a 'grocery' plastic bag. Canon XT, 35-70 off my old film rebel. (same camera and lens for each photo).
2. "Haunted" *
Located at the only home that offers children fun and games in our town, he was kind enough to hold still for about 10 seconds. Shot using available light. Crop only.
3. "Vamp" *
Cornered this victim at the local funeral home handing out candy. On camera flash. Face and skin tone untouched.
Thank you very much Kiki! I really really appreciate the kind words. He is a very vocal, active child, so I end up with quite a few shots like this one, but unfortunately, it doesn't work on demand. haha.
There are some really good photos this round. Like really good, i could comment positively on at least one of every persons posts so far I think.
Well, this is my first attempt at a Dgrin Mini Challenge. I've been wanting to get in on one but never have posted until now, so here goes. Hope everyone likes.

I hope you can see the look on the catchers face...this is on the slide home..(for anyone who knows an athlete one knows that their sport is the core of their soul!! Sort of like the camera is to a photographer)
I really liked the fireman shot made by "Hot_Shot", by the way. Great mood.
Anyway, here's my first submission. Hope it's OK with the rules
This was taken at Jerusalm, Israel. Specifically, at the Western Wall (said to be the most sacred place for Jews world wide). It was the day before Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) when Jews pray for forgiveness. I think they stayed there all night. This was taken at 2am when we visited the place to get a feel for the special atmosphere.

I really like 'Weight-ing' by dlibrach... the caption explaining what the image is about really adds to the tension.
