So im learning to take photos with my canon xti with a 85mm f/1.8 lens. This is pure hobby and wanted some C&C from people...since, I believe that I cant get better if I dont learn...

Thanks!

the lighting in the first one looks harsh from the side, all the rest are good and excellent dof

2 is great.

3 - the other people in the background could probably be blurred out by shooting at a larger aperture.

Heya RNBzie, welcome to ThePhotoForum, and a Happy New Year to you .

Do you mind if I move these over to our People and Pets Gallery? I think that is where they belong.

Nice ones ... I always like the blurred backgrounds only the longer lenses can produce in portrait photography. Outdoor portrait photography works best with a cloud cover so you don't get blown out parts like on your boy's face in the first. The second is nice. Makes everyone smile! Nice to be meeting your wife, too .

The expression in the second is great! Love it.

Welcome to TPF! The light on the faces in #1 and #3 is too harsh for me, but I really like #2. It just makes you want to smile.
