Sorry they're so huge---- at work and couldn't figure out how to resize them since it's pulling them from photobucket...

Looks good, however the blue in the first image over powers the shot IMHO.

Don't people wear real shoes to photoshoots anymore? Ick!

Other than that, pretty cool shots.

Photo #1 -do not like the crop- also would have pulled them away from the wall a bit (know this is tricky since you may have put them into a bright light situation).

#2 Like the composition except for the brick wall under his arm that is tan in color (also would have been better if he didn't have the white shirt on since it throws the exposure all over the place).

#3 Exposure all over the place (adding a gold reflector to throw some color onto himn would have helped-it's that white shirt again) also the posing is just not there-the squating and such-very much snapshotish.

#4 Go into photo shop and clean up that red wall above the woman (rid that white overspray-same thing with the black on the white wall), I would actually crop this one tighter-eliminate about 80% of the dead space over his head so this would be almost a square shot in framing.

#5 CROP CROP CROP this one- cluttered window to the left adds nothing to the shot-same with part of door to the right. Exposure is good on this one. Also I bet you used about a 28mm or wider lens on this shot since the walls of the building look all out of sync and leaning.

#6 It's that white shirt again but otherwise not a bad shot at all other than maybe the way her body is placed (may have been able to have her shift a bit to have a more flattering angle and to tilt her head a bit to see her face more clearly-still looking towards him but not at him.

Get into the habit of looking at the subject through the viewfinder and then lowering the camera and looking at them without it to catch the odd little things (they won't be running off anywhere and they are in no danger of falling off a cliff or being hit by a bus), so take some time in posing before shooting and having a reflector in your kit will help with those white shirts (tossing some golden reflected light will knock that white down a bit and throw some color into their faces).
