Cat, I'll be serious for 3 minutes. That's all you're getting, because I dont want you to think I'm an ass....all the time. So here goes my C&C.

1 & 2 Great poses great exposure...just needed more lighting.
3. Has an amazing sharpness and exposure to it, very good job.
4. Very good picture except the females stomach flab seems to grab my attention more then their superfluous love. It seems like you can't crop it out either because then you would barely have a picture left.

In conclusion, the pictures aren't as bad as they seem. The people on here mostly are enthusiast or expierenced professionals. They're going to judge you from a artistic POV. Keep in mind, your clients' most common reaction is going to be that they love their pictures. They don't see pictures in F-Stops, Shutter Speed, and ISO like we do.

Don't beat yourself up, now you know what to do next time.

Still love me?

My dearest toofpaste, of course there is still love in my heart for you. I am deeply impressed and thankful for your c&c. thank you.

To all: Now that it's 24 hours later, I am doing much better. Could still smack myself at the issues I had, but hey - stuff happens. Control what you can control and aim to do better next time.

I personally love the above images and the feedback I received from the couple is very good. So - I guess all's not lost and I have another happy client.

I am very impressed at the viewings and posts my entry caused. Just goes to show you that we are all not perfect and are looking for someone to pat us on the back every once in awhile.

I gotta say, I am thankful to tyjax for getting me involved in this forum community. it's like being in a relationship with (how many are on this board?? lol) a gazillion photographers. We all share a passion and love that sometimes brings us down. So it's good to know there's a place we can "talk." ------- ok, as I'm typing this the Cheers theme song went thru my head Dr.Phil came to mind too.... LOL!!! :lmao:

Ok, now where's my tequilla? toofpaste???? tyjax?
