Capturing moments... that's what it's all about, and that's what you've done. Outstanding work here, really... you've outdone yourself. These images could be in a magazine or advertisement any day of the week if you ask me, but, that's just me. I envy you, as I've yet to photograph anything or anyone like this.

One question I did mean to ask, though forgot to do so is this...

You achieved hellacious color's here that are in my opinion, perfect.... did PP play a part in that, or did you actually achieve this using your surroudings / background / environment?

If these images came straight off the camera as is, just like this, I'll just be blown away by that, which... I guess it's possible, but #3, 8, and 9 look a bit saturated to the point where I wouldn't expect to come from the camera on it's own.

If PP was used, no problems, no critique on that at all, I love what you did, regardless, I'm just curious as to what you did to achieve such saturation, without "over" saturating, if that makes any sense.

Either way, and regardless, post more if you have more to post

Thank you so much! That completely boosted my self confidence

Some are over saturated,but I was looking to have that look with the car shoots. The time of the day and where I was at played a HUGE role in the lighting....it was like incredible!! The colors at the park where I was shootintg were undescribable!! No PP...you are going to laugh but I told you that I was a newbie and I really meant that....I used picasa!! I really didn't to to much to the pictures just a tiny bit of saturation and posted those babies!! Thank ya'll for the wonderful comments. Have a blessed Mother's day!!
