Here's a few of the shots we did in their casual clothes. Feedback welcome and appreciated!

1- This was the first shot I've ever taken with fill flash - I never realized what a difference it makes!

I think you did very good with these Ajay. The couple should be pleased.

If I could make a few notes from what I see.

#1 - The background is a bit overexposed, but I find the building more distracting.

#2 - Nice pose and composition. Legs are a bit overexposed.

#3 - Like the tilt, but her left pants leg is cut off.

#4 - Perfect.

#5 - He looks uncomfortable and I don't like seeing his ankle. Her hands are cut off.

#6 - Nothing wrong here!

#7 - I like the unique capture. The ring just doesn't pop enough.

Hope that didn't hurt because that wasn't the intent, just what I see. You really did some nice work here.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks kundalini. That's exactly the kind of feedback I like getting - definitely didn't hurt.

I didn't even notice the building in #1 - might go back and do some cloning there. It's funny - the guy really liked #5. I wasn't crazy about his visible ankle either, but I couldn't decide on a crop that I liked. I cut off quite a few hands and fingers in this whole shoot - must pay more attention to that next time. Any suggestions on making the ring pop more on the last one?
