6 FTW. Try to lessen the vignette a tad though. You have to get out of the mindset of just taking snapshots and more on taking quality images.

WELCOME !!! The colors in #3 are really good.Keep posting and tell us a little more....

Foques

thank you very much for looking and feedback.

I'm not sure what to say as far as "more goes"..

#1 are my parents. I invited my dad to a Cheese Cake Factory for his bday.

#2 and 3 are pictures of my second half.

#4 is a shot of one of the nicest guys i've ever spoken with. He is a drifter, I shot it at the Hot Import Nights with my 300mm.. since the area was fenced off.

#5 is a shot of one of my good friends and his son at my friend's old shop.

#6 my co-worker's daughter. the freshest shot out of all.

#7 and 8 are shots at my lady sister's wedding.

the last one is a shot of my other good friend Rage. One of the best as far as car electronics go..

Welcome!! I really like 2/6 and 8, thought the vignette on 8 is making his head go a bit hazy. On 2 and 6, it isn't about monochrome, but rather the expressions that are there, the nice light, and the clean backgrounds that make them standout for me. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.

Foques

fixed.
no haze

thank you very much.

FWIW, I think you can have some vignette (helps cover/defocus the gal in the background) just ease off a bit. Bear in mind, I'm not a pro here, so season my opinion accordingly.

Nice shots and great color. You've showed the folks having fun. Love the shutter drag on the bridal couple dancing.

Foques

Thank you very much Charles.

6 is wonderful!

Welcome

I love your #2. Have you thought about removing the distractor in the right edge and the little something in the lower-right corner? I think those small edits would take to image to a whole new level.

#6 - is she too cute or what? Love the wide-eyed openness of here happy expression. Very nice!

Foques

thank you very much!

yes, i did think of removing those items. just didn't get around to them.
