p.1 #3 · Engagement Shoot: WWI Memorial, purdy skies, and dodging bikers in DC
Love 4 and 7...great set overall! Really like the colors and processing. They will love these.
A few crits that stood out to me:
Overall, she squints a lot when she smiles. That's tough to deal with, but maybe try some close mouthed smiles in case that helps.
2. They are slightly off-center in an otherwise symetrical frame, and check the top right corner (apply previous settings healing brush mishap)
6. I do not think the tilt adds anything here (as opposed to the next one, where I do feel like it adds)
10. wide angle distortion on their heads
4 & 9...think they would be a bit better if they were connecting with each other rather then the camera. I got critiqued about this very same thing, and I started paying attention to it. Typically when the image is wide and really focuses on the environment, it typically makes more sense when they connect with each other.

Hey Jeff,
I'm new at this so take this with a grain of salt. I think the lighting, compositions, processing is spot on. The only thing I am not feeling is the clients interaction...or lack thereof. For example, #8-13 there doing the exact same, hand on his chest look at the camera pose (except for 12 when they switch sides and do it) . I think that takes away from your awesome light, comp, etc. So my opinion is, if there is better interaction between the clients this would've been super strong!
Still good though. And you may like the more traditional pose's, I don't know. I'm just saying that's what caught my eyes.

thanks Miguel - I definitely agree for the most part. these two were very shy so it was challenging at times to get them to interact. I do have plenty of interaction shots that I didn't include, so perhaps I can go back and throw some in for the blog post.
