Outdoor fun

Couple of shots from the other day....constructive criticism welcome.

Welcome to the forum. I like the last one, she has a cute smile. On the first two, watch the crop. In the first one, you have just about cropped off part of her elbow and in the second one, you have cropped off part of his hand. Try and give your subjects a bit more "breathing" room.

Well the good news is both those were poorly cropped after the fact, ill re-crop them and post the updated versions and see what you think. Thank you for the input.

Maybe try a 4X5 crop ratio to give same room above and below but expand side to side.

Any better?

 

[WesternGuy]

A bit better, but I can see why you cropped the one on the left so close - those "pots" on both sides are distracting. This goes back to something that we all have "fun" with when we start out - watching our backgrounds. The one of the right is better.

I started to move them, but, it wasn't my yard

The girl was moving in both right? Her face looks soft, yet it doesnt look like enough action to justify motion blur, to me anyway. So you either needed more light/flash or to adjust your camera settings a little.

I like the one of the girl sitting on the rocks the best by far. I would just crop that white thing off the right hand side. Even though her hair is blown out, I think its cute enough most people wont care.
