C&C Please

Hi,

I've been trying some new stuff and I like the results and would like the opinion of someone other then myself.

From the example below, tell me your thoughts.

Thanks,
Mike

Okay the picture above is a snap shot taken by my wife. Here is a portrait I took. I used the same techniques for fixing it as I did on the point and shoot pic above and I really need some feedback.

Here is the portrait:

Well... this is a very nice head shot.

The strong ratio seems OK here, but maybe a wee bit more fill would have been beneficial. Maybe a hair or skim light would have finished it off.

Never the less, nice shot as is.

Thank you,

I actually had a reflector up on the side that is dark but...I took it down for some reason and never put it back up.

I forgot about it and finished shooting. When I realized it, it was too late.

I also didn't use a tripod here because the kid was fidgity. he wanted to just be done so he could go play so it is a little out of focus.

here is one more from the same shoot, again, without the reflector up because of my lack of thinking, but it looks pretty nice.

Thanks,
Mike V
