    I love these! #1 is my fav!
    in #2, I would have put spot metered off santa's beard or white part of his hat and raised exposure by 1.5 and it would have been perfect :) His hat, beard would have been nice and white and everything else would have fallen in its place.

    Thank you for the comment. I primarily shoot Av and Evaluative metering and when your kid is chatting it up with Mr Claus, you strike while the moment is hot! But your point is very well taken and much appreciated. Those types of thoughts need to become more "automatic" to me as I grow and learn.

    thumb.gifThe skin tones you get are some of the best I've seen. Like butter! Great work.
