Alrighty so I recently did a Family session of my sisters family for practice and for free and I wanted to get some C+C from you all. Give me all the pros and cons about my pictures so I can learn and grow. Thanks

WB looks a little off in all of these shots (cooler). Also, make sure to straighten your horizons.

Thanks for your input. I only have gimp to edit photos so I'm not sure how to straighten my horizons. Hopefully when I have enough money, I want to buy photoshop CS5.

Focus looks a little soft in all of them and you chopped off limps in all but the last photo.

Yah I noticed they looked soft. I know some of the limbs are cut off, but can you crop their body to get a closer picture like #2. Or does it not look right?

In the 2nd photo, you've cropped in vertically right down the center.

What would've been a better way to crop the photo. Would the rule of thirds apply here.

Thanks, yah I saw it when I was reviewing my pictures and that was my first bad thing about the picture.

I think just a few steps back to include more would look better. The first photo I do like the best.

If you've cut off their feet, go ahead and cut off their feet. This crop puts Dad on the left third of the frame.

Thanks for all your C+C. I'm excited to go back out there and shoot, and learn from my mistakes.
