A Bit of Variety, C&C Please!

Here are a few older shots I finished processing recently:

1. There are obvious problems here, but I thought it was a good shot anyway, and it was the best of three.



2.



3. This one's a little weird. One of the first shots I took, but I thought it was really cool.



4.



5.



6.




I welcome any and all comments, and I hope you enjoyed them.

Really like #6....what a great moment. Most of the others seem a bit soft. I like the comp on #5. None are tack-sharp which is sometimes fine, but your OOF issues here are a bit much and distract from images 1 & 2. #4 would have been a pretty nice shot.....without the extreme lean and you not only cropped a leg but managed to remove some feet as well.

I really like what you did with #4!
#6 is a nice capture of the moment.

Well done.

Thanks for the critique gentlemen! The soft shots were more "snap shottish" and I regret my inability to prepare for them quickly.

I hate to admit it, but 4 had to be taken from the hip because the people of this culture do not like having their picture taken, but I didn't have the willpower to resist the opportunity. While I hate that it's missing part of the man, I'll hold on to it.

I realize now I primarily need to work on my ability to capture sharp images quickly, and that means learning better manual focus, because my the AF on a 50mm f/1.8 just isn't up to par sometimes, and is subject to more user error .
