    Show us an example. And make sure it’s an unedited full res picture.

    “They are welcome to buy the prints from the site if they wish, but no $$ is exchanged. Any $$ I have made off prints has gone right back into saving for new lens’, strobes ,etc.”

    This is self contradicting.

    Have to say I like your images a lot. I don’t really have an issue with the saturation. I think it’s alright. In fact, I have to say I don’t see any images that are oversaturated. I’ve been questioning JJs monitor calibration for a while, so maybe wait for a few more comments. The only thing that comes close to oversaturated is the marco shot of the image. Nothing else.

    The only photo I hate is the one you use for the “Studio” image that scrolls through on your webpage. The most crucial parts, the eyes, are so out of focus, yet the flower and her hand are in perfect focus. I want to be drawn to her eyes, but I’m not!

    Please reshoot this one! It’s a really nice photo otherwise!

    I presume the stuff with flash has been taken down?

    Got a bigger portfolio to look at?

    There isn’t anything there that makes me go “wow!” or interests me. They look like snapshots TBH.

    I don’t think you have anything to worry about. And if you are winning awards, why are you even asking if you are a fauxtog?

    This is a strong and compelling image. Nicely lit. If a little scary, made me jump:

    Cool, let us know when they are up. Oh, and have fun.

    BTW, there are quite a few shots I liked. The car one: maybe a bit more DoF though. I’d like to see both the car and the shop? But then both are equally interesting in their own right, so I’d probably take three images.  The girl playing tennis. maybe a bit more closer? Maybe not. The 550D has an 18MP sensor: you can crop away at most of the image and still have a high res image left!

    One thing I can see though is that you at least are moving around and trying different perspectives which is great to see. Keep it up. I guess that comes from film experience?

    I’d have to disagree with Brownie on this one:

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpereiraphoto/7605499954/in/photostream/lightbox/

    It looks like some man/dog beast.

    Watch your composition and how things line up in the frame.

    Not sure what a Diana F+ lens is, but I’m not too keen on the results either. It’s giving you CA and also bad focus

    Hats off to you, there are some good saves in those images. Lucky she gave the originals on CD too huh?

    Last time I checked you can make your profile say you are from wherever you want….

    Plus it’s simple. It’s not possible for two facebook pages created by UNIQUE users to start with https://www.facebook.com/pages/Photography-by-Heather/

    If someone can do it, I’ll gladly eat my hat.

    You know, the more I think about it, the more I feel camerashy is lying about this not being her page.

    Firstly she doesn’t appear to know how URLs work, or probably what one is, and how paths work. This isn’t a bad guess as she can’t post a URL…

    She claims that this page, posted earlier:

    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426066567425911&set=a.408722682493633.99758.112655248767046&type=3

    Isn’t hers. But if you click on Photography by Heather’s Page at the top of that page

    Guess what the URL changes to?
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Photography-by-Heather/

    Now hang on, isn’t that the top level URL that she posted for her page?

    And guess what else? It’s not possible to create ANOTHER page called Photography-by-Heather.

    If I’m wrong I’ll whole heartedly apologise. But for now, I say RUMBLED.

    Well if that is your page I’m seeing plenty of pics that are blurred due to either inappropriate focusing, too low a shutter speed, far too little DOF or a combination. Some of your lighting is a little harsh.  Oh and a creased backdrop.

    You need a faster shutter speed for some of the work you are doing. Assess what is going on in the image, is there going to be movement? If so, cater for it. Buy a fast lens if nessary and open up….

    ….but not too much because then you end up with not enough DoF. Yes DoF is good and works well if used well. But I see a lot of images that have far too little DoF for the subject.

    Watch your focus point. Some of your portraits aren’t focused where they should be, and this could be down to you using a bit too tight DoF again.
