    Thanks ebi and Camaraclicker for critiquing in detail.  It helps me to view my shots in a different way so that I am able to see what my flaws are and what I need to really work on.  I have a rim light but wasn’t sure how to utilize it and will need to work on that.  Coloring seems to be a big thing with me and I’m not sure if it’s me or the monitor I’m using but will strive to get it right.  I’m getting a grey card like JustAndy suggested to help me along with that, and I also did a one on one with my instructor on how to use a grey card to get my shots where they need to be.

    ebi,

    I love closeups, however, I will work on moving out of my comfort zone to try new things.

    Camaraclicker,

    Detail will be my new word of the year and I am going to make sure that I pay very close attention to it.  LOL.

    Thanks again guys and I appreciate all that you’ve helped me to see with my work.  I will keep shooting and improving!

    ebi,

    Thanks for your interest and opinion.  I did place all but one back up on my flickr page.  The one I didn’t place back up there definitely has some issues with the editing that I need to repair before placing it back up (little embarrassed after reviewing that one again).  I value all opinions that help me to improve.  Thanks.

    WCS, I did remove some after reviewing them from your comments.  My instructor and I will be going over these together to work on what I need to improve with these.  We haven’t gone into Color balance yet, however, I have been using the White Balance settings on my camera and I rarely use the tungsten setting.  I see what you are saying with those 2 pictures though.   I will need to work on my color balance and the type of light I use.

    JustAndy, thanks for the tips and I will definitely try that out.  Hopefully with that it will help me to eye these things better in the future.  I know that these aren’t very creative, but I am just starting with portraits.  I’ve always done just inanimate, nature, and some animal.  Learning a new thing is always hardest at the beginning, but I am determined to do good and be good.  I am always open for tips to improve.

    Thanks again to both of you.

    Thank you WCS.  I was also looking for pointers along with the critique.  I’m sure you have some since you’ve apparently been in this business for so long.  I will also bring up to my instructor your critiques since some of the pictures you mentioned I got good scores on.   I may need a little more in depth instruction or mentoring in those areas.
