Photos for a Friend

I took some photos of a friend's kids today. Would love some feedback. Thanks for looking!

For me, all are well exposed and tac sharp. My criticism would lie in the poses/crops. Too much in the way of odd angles and fingers/limbs cut off. Of the three, I like #3 the best. His face just draws me in....so serious.

Thank you for the feedback, jb. I really like the face on #2, but you're right; something about the composition doesn't quite work. Unfortunately, I left the image size setting to Small on my camera from taking a bunch of snapshots the week before, so the resolution on these photos isn't as large as I'd like them to be. I should try cropping in tighter on that one anyway.

What is this "small" setting of which you speak? JK, but I always leave my camera set to the highest image size and buy more memory cards! Good energy in these!

Thanks, Caroline. I'm going to keep mine on the largest setting from now on, no matter what I'm shooting!

I don't know if this improves the photo, but I recropped. I think I like this better...

I like the crop much more. The reflections in the metal are more apparent as well, which adds more interest to the image, too. Nice job.

Thanks, Andrew.
