Recently Joined the Forum, Let me know what you think of some of my shots!

[ptl2010]

I just recently joined the forum and I figured I should share some of my images. I started getting really into photography about 2 years ago, and more recently started shooting more seriously. Here are some of my People shots I've taken over the years. Let me know what you think!

This is only part of my collection of people shots, I've been taking some time on the weekends to go through and organize all of my photos. I will admit I have one issue I could use some help with, skin tones. I shoot RAW and edit in Lightroom 4 so if anyone has any good advice on getting pleasing skin tones, please let me know!

Scooter shot is a winner!

+1 for the scooter shot! The last three are also very good, I like how you are filling the frame with your subjects. Caution on going overboard with the tilted frame on the first few.

Overall this is a nice collection. Just a bit of advice: you will get more replies if you only post a few images at a time, and in more specific Galleries.

Without ANY doubt, the scooter shot is THE winner of this series!!! That one is waaay cool.

If you would like serious critique of your work, please try to limit your posts to no more than four images as in-depth critique can take several minutes per image.

You have a great collection here! I definitely agree, the scooter shot is brilliant! And overall I love the emotion you seem to capture in your images. There seems to be life in all of them. One thing that did stand out for me, is that shot number three has some REAL 'pearly-whites'! her teeth look over processed. Bot overall,you have a wonderful collection.

Thanks for the information, I will limit the amount of images I post in the future!

As for the tilt in the concert shots, I was trying to find a way to fill the frame with my subject while also not cutting of the end of an instrument or something, I'll be sure to try a few different methods next time I shoot a live event.

Oh and Ryanwaff, I was having a little trouble with those teeth, and the overall skin tone of the image, I think I just need to go into lightroom and make a duplicate of the image and start from scratch, hopefully it will turn out better!

Scooter shot is a winner!

Yes, yes it is. You appear to be pretty handy with a camera.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks! I will definitely take advice and post only a few shots at a time next time around.
