I live them, the poses, the framing and the post-processing.

Logo is weak but pix are great.

 

[AMOMENT]

Thank you so much...lol, I barely was able to get that logo..I really have to work on my watermark. Thanks, again!! =)

I'm on my phone so I'm not the best judge but they look really noisy to me. Were you using a really high ISO or was it done in post??

Many of these look soft to me.. missed focus?

 

[MLeeK]

Most of them are out of focus. I suspect your shutter speed was too slow. They are very grainy as if they were underexposed and brought up considerably. You have a great idea here, but you have so much going on that it's just a cluttered up mess. Having the trunk and the dress up things would work had you backed out more and given it enough space.
Shoot again. Back up. Limit distractions. Don't tilt your camera and focus slowly and deliberately.

I'm on my phone but these look pretty grainy. What was the Exif? You should try exposing to the right. Works good.

Why are your images copyrighted to a George McCullough?

Lol!!! Just noticed that!

Here is why you are grainy. You boosted exposure by +1 and brightness by +50 to begin with. You were shooting with an f/2.8 lens set at f/4. Why wouldn't you drop down your f/ to get proper exposure instead of risking the noise problems? Or why didn't you use your flash instead of shooting at ISO 6400?
You can't put a bandaid on a screw up and make it work. You have to master the camera. Your editing program has really impeded your growth in actual skill and ability with the camera.

These are really noisy and several are quite blurry. The background is cluttered and distracts from the subjects. If I were looking at these as a series, I would wonder why the older child's eyes are icy blue in #5 and a different color in all the rest. And, the logo is really distracting.

As MLeeK suggested, the technical aspects need work.

I adore you, I think you are so sweet, and I love that your photos capture such sweet moments. I, however, dislike your new watermark. . . the size? the odd weird first letter font? I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's not flattering to your photos. . . :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Of all the controllable factors in photography ... focus is one of the main ones.
With portrait photography, the most important thing is to get the person in focus ... as they are the focus point of the image.

For now you should ignore everything else and work on achieving sharp focus on the subject.

Or you should start your all posts with "yeah, I know it is out of focus ..."

Omg, I don't know why these are copywrited as that. It is very wierd but when I upload any of my photos to facebook, this comes up and I always erase it. Any idea?

Also, I didn't use a flash because everyone insisted that I not introduce any other eqipment and to just raise my ISO.....if I stopped dow for greater dof, I would have been vastly underexposed?

Thanks =)* I know it's ATROCIOUS...lol...I have to really work on one. lol...I don't really know how to make one and havent come close to spending enough time on it. I mainly came up with a watermark because of that whole "Geoprge Muchol.." thing coming up ad wanted to protect the images. A friend of my husbands is looking into it; he works with computeras and thinks there might have been some hacking....
