For the most part, I photograph landscapes, so shooting people is new to me. A few months ago, I took these shots of my grandchildren, David, Emma (the youngest female) and their cousin, Nurim.

Well, you've got the first thing down pat ..... choose beautiful children with delightful expressions, then capture them in all their glory. Check!

Hi Civona, when you have such beautiful models, you cant help but take beautiful pictures. And yours are both excellent.

They are all nice images, but #1 is just about perfect. The direction of the light and the wonderful ratio of the highlight to shadow side. Great skin tone. The background has some texture, but no detail. Compared to most of what is posted here, this one image is exceptional.

Images #2 and #3 suffer from busy backgrounds, but they are still good. I like #4 because of the interaction, but #1 is the hands-down best of the lot.

Thank you for your comments, pastagal! I agree with you, that they are beautiful children, but then I'm a little prejudice! Appreciate you liking my work!

I don't think any of them need any p/p except to blur the background or to make it black. If CaptainC likes them then you know you are doing great work, and I think you are. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
