A day out (kids)

2 girls I teach gymnastics, what do you think? I would appreciated any comment! I didn't use a professional camera.
Thanks

You don't need a pro camera to take good shots, just practice.

I think you managed to get good exposures even with the direct sunlight, which can be tough. I would recommend shooting at their eye level, like in the first one, and using a longer lens (more telephoto) when shooting portraits.

you should be careful with shaows.... it is good to use fill flash in sunlight to reduce shadows under the nose or eyes...

thanks for the tips!

I think the first one could use some brightness or whiter whites or something because it's looking flat to me. I actually really like #2. It reminds me of a still from a movie or something.

I agree with the whiter whites, I fixed it in my copy already. Thanks!

I prefer the first one, actually. The second one rubs me the wrong way; I guess I can't get past the rule to crouch down so you're not looking down on kids.
I don't use b&w, so it's intresting that I like it better than #3.

#1 & #3 are nice, but I agree with the use of fill flash to reduce the shadows on their face.

#2 Rocks, I like the pose and the angle you used.

The third one just looks like a point and shoot photograph, but I like the first two. Try using PS to increase the contrast in the two, especially one. I'm a fan of fun cropping so cool.
