I will do many forms of photography but in my opinion, landscape and portrait are the most difficult, so I don't try.
Well shot

Thanks JR1! I agree. Portraiture (especially kids) is very difficult for me. I figure if I can get halfway decent at this then everything else should be easier. Lol.I will do many forms of photography but in my opinion, landscape and portrait are the most difficult, so I don't try.
Well shot

Not bad but the lighting is flat...there are no shadows at all. Not to mention the unflattering "center of the eye" catchlight.
Shade is good but you still need to get "side lighting" if you are going to do a portrait. Get someone with a 2' x 2' piece of foamcore board and put them on his left or right side.
Or put him at the edge of the shade turned a bit so one side is lighter than the other and fill back into the shade side with a reflector or foamcore.
Just a thought.

It's a lovely shot tainkc. I usually prefer portraits of children when they're not smiling because they are more unusual. I'm not quite sure why so many people say "smile" to kids before they squeeze the shutter. Often what you get is a false or silly smile. I think you got it just right.

Here is another one just slightly different that may be more to your liking. I am just guessing at everything at this point trying to absorb as much information as possible.
I always appreciate your input, Bob. Oh, and I was using a 75-300mm zoom.
One more.
