Solid work. Balanced lighting and your shots have a very nice feel on their expressions.

I think you have a tendency to crop a little too tight on the right side on all four.

Thanks for the feedback CAMZ. Cropping is tough for me, I haven't identified a consistent "method" so to speak but I'll take your feedback into account.

I generally stick with standard, paper-format ratios: 3:2, 5:4, 7:5, 14:11; or negative sizes: 1:1, 7:6, 65:24; or screen formats: 4:3, 16:9 etc. With thirds/diagonal method overlays, in the cropping window.

Positioning your camera and your subjects also plays into account. I think you can pretty much crop at any ratio or dimension and find a print house to do the job.

From what I see above is that you could've stuck with the same ratio on these and still made it work by positioning the crop a little right.

I like them, the last one the girls seems to be visibly leaning in, only thing that stands out to me negatively. 3 could maybe crop better using rule of thirds.

Love the look of these shots. Agree that you could have cropped a little less on the right portion of the images. Nice work!

Thanks I'm familiar with the rule of thirds but from a subject placement standpoint, not sure how to apply when cropping.
