First time C&C! I want all of the Critiques I can get!

[RyanUpchurch]

I have been taking photos for almost a year now, and still find myself learning something about myself, the way I shoot, and becoming more and more familiar with my camera after every shutter. I do everything from portraits, action sports, and lifestyle, to product photography and food. Here are a few of my recent photos and I'm just looking for things that I could improve on! Thanks!

To many for specific critique.
Post them 1 at a time and include the basic shooting information.

Even a post with two or three images. I will make one overall comment and that is that you need to work a great deal harder on your exposure and lighting.

When someone is wearing a hat I would use a fill light, my kids are always wearing hats so it's a constant thing for me. I like the pictures though but there are details lost from exposure which would make them a lot better.

Thanks a lot everyone. And yeah, most of these photos are just photos for friends when I didn't even have adequate lighting setup. Wish I would've, but I will post photos up when I take some more when I have everything lighted to the best of my ability! Thanks again for your advice everyone!

Whatever. Your photos are fine just how they are. I like the first one a lot.
