    Nice work! I love 3 and 6 the most, and I think 6 is a huge winner if you can crop it tighter, at least I'd like it that way.

    The family photo is nice too, but weird in that the landscape is so "perfect" they look they were photoshop'd into it! kinda hard to explain. My only real complaint there is I dont get any sharpness from the folks in the picture, she seem muddy to me, which for such a gorgeous family is too bad.

    all in all. beautiful family, great shots.

    well done.

    I suppose part of the "look" concerning the last one is that there isn't much of a difference in DOF between the family and the setting. I wanted to capture the clubhouse and the golfcourse as well. Possibly, (and I'll play around with it) I can add a bit of "lens" blur to gain a bit of difference from forefront to background. The setting was fairly perfect, used fill flash but also had to bring the subjects up in post.

    Funny thing is, I need to print this (even if it's a smaller print) to see how that turns out and make adjustments accordingly. I'm not certain that "this" will be the shot they choose as I have others they might like more (different settings). Thank you for your honesty....its great having other eyes for a final product.

    Adspace.....he is adorable! Thank you for the kind words.

    Kombizz...Yea, the difference of laptop to desktop monitors....I looked at these on the laptop and thought "whoa...needs more pop". Thanks!

    I love the last one. I would love to see that in a large print instead of a forum jpg. thumb.gif

    Nice pics! We had our wedding at Interlachen in June. I was a little dissapointed we didn't get a chance to get some wedding pics out on the course, but it would have been hard with all the golfers out there. We took all of our outdoor pics towards the 18th green.
