A few from Sunday

Not posted any photos for a while (been really busy) but was asked by a couple of friends to take some festive pics of their kids. :)

So here's a few of them from yesterday. C&C welcome...:)

mr o that first one is a belter m8

Heh, you've got this portrait business nailed haven't you?

Quality. Bit of an odd crop on the penultimate pic though!

Cracking pics m8!

1 & 2 are my favs!

great pics m8
What camera did yo use ?

love the 1st one & 5th.well done

First is an absolute cracker mate. Got the catchlights nice. Number 2 is also a cracker, captured the kids expression very nicely indeed.

Like the first and third of the set ,little girls are really hard to get that expression on ,one that works well with the theme .Good job ,not so keen on the last one simply because the lighting is a bit flat .The rocking horse one shows the end of the muslin (might have looked better on a sheepskin rug ) ,but then again nicely worked .Might even be my monitor ?.

I'm not to keen on the high-key one, but the rest are crackers, esp if you like colour popping.

Cute smilies from the kids. Well done m8.


Paul.

Some great shots there Mr I.

No1 is well composed and great detail, especially the catch lights, shame her pupils weren't facing just that little towards you more. But that's working with kids for you.

No 2 like the selective colouring and composition but again shame the expression was not a little more happy. But a great shot though. Eddie - I think what you are seeing is the background under a sheet of perspex that Mr O uses, and the diagonal line is a reflection of the upright background being reflected , just to the right on the floor of the rocking horse. I like the reflection of the rocking horse and the use of perspex sheet, some of Mr O's other shots uses that effect very well. As for sheep skin rug - Sorry but how 80's??

No 3. Love this shot, very festive. Probably my favourite. Great composition and strong contrast of vibrant red against plain white background

No 4. Ok, I lied this is my fav shot. Just love everything about it, the angle, the expression, the PP work. Top notch shot mate. Kinda looks like a very young Angus Young. Just needs the black cap and guitar.

No 5. Another great shot, nice full frame close up shot, would look nice blown right up on their lounge wall.

No 6. Probably the weakest of the lot I would say, position of the subjects is great, but their expressions kill the shot a little, a little interaction would have been cool, or them both look the same way.

Some cracking shots there mate, your freinds should be well pleased with them.

first one is a cracker mate, catchlights look great, liking the selective colour aswell, nice

first two are lovely, the little girl is beautiful

like the last one as well. I'll come knocking when we have kids mate ;)

You're quite right. The PP on this is a bit piss poor. It actually looked ok on my monitor at home but now I've seen it on my works monitor, it deffo needs a bit more work doing to it. :)

Thanks for the replies fellas. :)
