taking a quick look...
4th wedding - ceremony - nice and bright! web204 - flower girl - OOF. Could be motion blur but the lady behind her is sharp - you missed. Technique or gear (such as AI servo, prefocus, don't use a rebel/kit lens - I have no idea what gearyou used, just off the cuff response)
I don't like the site's cropping the previews. It's why I looked at the flower girl - couldn't understand why you'd cut her head off.
web 208 not sharp
web 205 - did she stop for the photo? Bad form to stop the show for photos.
overall thoughts:
nice color, wb, exposure.
boring angles. Looks like you never kneeled, or stood on a chair or even changed lenses (i see some fishy stuff so you did, but not enough IMO).
Most compositions are very centered as well.
web-33856 - crop in some -we don't need to see the fatchicky is the green sweater. Get in closer to make the view feel part of the action and not a wall flower / voyeur.
11/23 - reina 0214 is nice.
you seem a wee bit too tilt happy. A little goes a long way.
reina 0608 -nice as it is but could be better. you don't need F16 on this one. The blue hammock(?) in the BG is distracing, and pretty much in focus too.
everything (most everything anyway) seems stiff and posed. You need to get them to relax, to be themselves, to have some fun!
6/14 - saucedo-0176 is not white. Should it be?
saucedo-03740 - too centered, too much DOF, boring pose (stiff, unnatural), tree growing out of his head)
saucedo-0559 - terrible way to display the dress. Looks very documentary - no emotion, no feeling. Well lit, but you have the window to play with - it could be so much more.
same here - saucedo-06219. I can't connect with this. Cross the ankles, have her hand draped down holding teh flowers. But on the good side you aren't standing anymore!
saucedo-23614...don't know where to start on this. Bad choice of BG (perhaps they chose it?), bad posing - nothing consistent about how they are standing, their arms, hands, nothing!
saucedo-24327 is just as bad. gut on left is in figleaf. bride is turned away from the groom. groom has no arms or hands and his belly accentuated. guy on right has head tilted away from the group and a bad expression - is being forced to be there against his will?
saucedo-24836 has better posing. All of these are not all that sharp, color isn't up to the same standard as your other images. I assume higher ISO and no extra light? (At least i see no ugly shadows)
saucedo-20911 - OK, bad shadow on grandpa's face. You need to take more shots so you have more choices and can throw out images like this - mom and dad look miserable and the kid's not looking at the camera.
I know 'Say Chesse' is a cliche but you've to do something to get them to smile.
Really, were they all as unhappy as this guy saucedo-2089?
I'm not sure if I want to laugh or cry. saucedo-2077. BAD. REALLY BAD.
reception WB is off.
saucedo-33220 - you bent, good. shows motion, good. shows the ass end of everyone - bad, very bad. You want to photography their faces. more like saucedo-33942 - but bad WB. you need to get an exposdisc or shoot RAW and WB later.
Don't be afraid to get in tight!
