Sunset Celbration first people photos I have ever taken (quite a few photos)

I have just recently started taking photography seriously and I believe that people are the most difficult subjects that I have tried to capture, but I think I did a decent job with these on my recent vacation to Key West, Florida.

Please let me know what you think and feel free to give any suggestions or criticisms.

 

you did an awsome job . Keep up the good work

 

ok c&c as requested

First, it helps if you number the photos so people can more easily comment on certain ones.
Second, the first many are quite dark and the composition is kind of backwards I think. Aim to get people toward the sides of the photo, facing inward instead of outward.
Somewhere near the middle it gets much better, with the fire breathing guy. I like the close up one of him, as I feel it shows more of his character than the others (which show his action).
The final pictures, the silhouette ones, are very very nice! The colors with showing the guy in a more natural state I think help the photos a lot.

Thanks for posting! :mrgreen:
