Great job I'd say! The only C&C I have is #7 & 8 = cut off feet. More so in #8, more my personal taste for #7 I wouldn't have cut them off. #9 not diggin the car as a background.

yes I see what you are saying about #7 & #8, makes it look bit incomplete. #9 didnot realize background as I was too busy catching her expression.

I like 2 3 and 8. Try not to chop body parts and be aware of your background before you shoot.
7 is cute but can you clone that thing behind his head out of it.
Watch the tilts...try not to over use it.
Overall I would say you did a pretty good job.

Thanks for your comments and critics, helps me to take better pictures.

I like the pictures, the composition and the B/W renditions.
Some knowledgeable people have spoken about mistakes, good things and other.
The only thing I am going to suggest is: Do not use the same background too much unless there's nothing better.
Number 10 is a a blast, but you have a stop sign growing up your shoulder, (Nothing that can't be fixed.!!!).
Good luck and show more of your work.

Seriously there is absolutely no tilt in any of my pictures you guys have your monitors calibrated wrong or it was just a small earthquake .
Yeah I see what you guys are saying here. When you are flowing with the moment it is little bit hard to notice as it is happening but I think that comes with experience and being bit more focused on what I'm doing. Also learning my Photoshop basics so soon I'll be able to do some hoodini magic on my images and make unwanted (atleast not legs) objects vanish .
Thank you all for taking time and giving me tips here.

Here are couple of more images from same session that I was able to get around editing yesterday night.
On technical side of the things this whole session was shot using Canon 60D + Sigma30mm F/1.4 and edited in LR3. No flash was used as it was outdoor under overcast sky so enough light to work at ISO 100 .

On this particular image I tried to use CSpringer's skin smoothing action in photoshop CS5. Rest all were edited only in LR3.

Joshi:
Not to beat the dead horse here :deadhorse, but watch closely what Qarik said, picture # 8 among others, has 3.61 degree tilt.(Unless it was part of your composition and you like it that way, is your choice.!!!!!!!!!).
(Is not our monitors, at least not mine, and there were no recent earthquakes down here in Miamirofl).
Again, nothing that can not be fixed if you wish to....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
