New what do ya thinK honestly

I am new to this and my daughter in law wanted some maternity photos.

 

You'll get more responses if you post the pictures instead of a link to them.

I like the second one. She looks very serene. Is the desaturation on the first one intentional?

 

yes. The stripes on her shirt were real distracting until I did that. Thanks

 

you asked for honesty... they are kinda boring.. the first one has really harsh shadows.. this is likely due to the fact that I'm guessing you used a built in flash on a camera.. you should pretty much NEVER used a built in flash on a camera.. they suck.. get an external flash and put it on the hot shoe, and point it at your ceiling..

the second one has potential, but, its still kinda boring..

 

Thanks I will try that

 

It's okay to use the pop-up flash as fill flash when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight and you don't have a hot shoe flash with you. But that's about the only time the pop-up flash is useful.

 

the backgrounds are distracting, try for simple, less clutter.

 

Distracting background, the Flash is casting harsh shadows on both.

1- the Mans attire isnt photographically accurate (if that makes any sense..) and the hands are cut off

2- Too centered, the window has a glare on it, her face is out of focus, the flash is giving her body a black outline. Lost alot of details, somehow.

Sorry, you asked for honest.
