Hi All,

It's been a while since I last posted here. We had a family bbq last week and I took a few shots of my cousins kids.

Feedback/critique kindly requested. Be as honest as possible or I will never learn!

All shots were taken on my Canon 450D with 18-55mm kit lens in Program mode and all were cropped and had levels adjusted in Photoshop.

Thank you

shes got amazing big eyes! shes going to break alot of hearts =P
Good composition! Sharp, crisp colorful

#7 is my least favorite. Its a bit out of focus.

#8 is a gem..thats my favorite. you caught a great image here. Yes, it's a bit over exposed in the background by her hair, but ya know... it just works for the image. I will probably look good in B&W as well but I like the colors. It needs a little tweaking but I love it.

#3 is just okay. dont really care for it myself.

#4 could maybe use a crop.


Overall, I think that your white balance is off but that can be corrected with Photoshop or another program. Maybe just a few tweaks here and there.
Nice eye, you really captured the moment. The only thing that bugs me is the border but that's just me. Borders bother me in general. lol
