ParticipantLooks like this place gets plenty of traffic and I always see critiques on the main page – isn’t there anyone else that has something to say?

ParticipantAlso, to anyone else who’d be willing to offer critique, I’ve added more photos since the original post. The toddler pics are no longer the newest. Any critique is much appreciated.

ParticipantThere’s really nothing to notice when it comes to the change in workflow – I simply get through my editing process a lot faster than I used to. So if there doesn’t seem to be any change, I guess that’s a plus.

Participant@Gnork: Thanks for taking time to critique – I appreciate that. Good point about the gallery tab – that makes a lot of sense. I’ll take your advice. Also, the thought about introducing a color cast from the background never crossed my mind. Thanks a bunch.
@nairbynairb: Thanks for your feedback – I’m not a fan of the over-processed look either, so I was surprised by your critique. Those shots are pretty much straight from the camera (minus sharpening, BW conversion and levels). I had to remove baby’s private part that was showing in one of shots, but that was the most extensive touch up. Again, thanks for looking though.RJoe
ParticipantI thought the galleries looked cluttered, and not at all inviting. If I wasn’t looking at the site specifically to view your work for this forum, I would’ve left because it doesn’t have the clean, organized look I’d expect from a professional service.
I thought some of your composition was good, but couldn’t help notice many of the shots seemed to suffer from exposure problems. I don’t mind highlights being blown on occasion – I think we can all appreciate that – but it shouldn’t be the norm. Let me see some technically sound work before you throw so many shots at me where the rules are broken. Too many times I saw dark colors being clipped, and highlights being blown. I think you’d benefit from taking more time to meter.
I like the creativity in your composition, but it still needs to be stronger (keep working, you’ll get it). It doesn’t look like you have a good grasp on metering yet. I think its important to have this down pat before you get too artsy with exposure. My critique would be spend more time getting it right in-camera and less time editing.
