Well done. Nice clean crisp images.

Thank you...

Matthew Saville

Very clean and good quality stuff! The only input I can think of is, in the very last image I usually prefer to have couples not looking at the camera if they're out of focus. For a shot like this, imagine them looking at each other with their foreheads almost touching, and it becomes IMO a much stronger detail image. Also, in shot #11, her arms seem to vanish and I feel like if she had posed with her hands on her hips to show at least a little bit of elbow angle, or space between arm and torso, would have made the shot more powerful.

Keep it up!

Very, very nice

good stuff..well composed and good techniques! My little nits..for the shots that have a lot of speckled/mixed light (5,6,10,13) I would bring down the highlights some. Also add a touch vignette on a few to just draw the viewers eyes a bit more onto subjects.

Thanks for the feed back and I will definitely keep those tips in mind... I attended one of your classes (in Fullerton I believe) a few years ago and appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise and experiences. I've learned a lot from this forum due to the many experienced photographers here willing to share information/tips and help others improve.

I'm normally a little heavy handed when it comes to adding vignette because I really like the look but i intentionally back off a bit with this set. Will work on finding a happy medium or knowing when to add more based on the image. Thank you for the advice...

could just be personal taste, but i feel as though most of the images are a tad hot, and could also use a warmer WB. content is great though, nice work!

good set

Cavalier

Really nice set. #9 is a wonderfully natural pose - my favorite.

First off...nice set. One bit of advice that I was given years ago...don't cut off the feet...if you to crop...crop between the joints.

It's one of those things that...well, yeah your image looks great...but could be better still.
