Nice, but I would prefer to see a deeper or shallower DOF, either open it up to get a nice blurred background, or stop it down to get the tree at least relatively sharp. As it is, with the tree being only slightly blurred it continually draws my attention to it, just my 2 cents anyways, lighting and posing are nice though!

Nikon stuff and some other stuff...

apparently I'm picking on you today!!! : ) second photo...don't let people actually put weight on the arm they are leaning on...pops the shoulder out, and will make the upper arm look very large. I like the idea of the girls in front of the tree...I would just bring them out away from it a little more if possible.

Not feeling picked on, appreciate the input. Because of the way the tree was and location there was no way to pull them further away. Probably should have tried the shot with my 50 1.4 to shallow it up.

Either that Clifton or stopped down to get the tree in reasonable focus like I said earlier, not trying to be a smartaleck with that comment but the halfway focused background just doesn't seem right, either blur it all or keep it all sharp, once again, just my humble 2 pennys

Not taking it as smartalreck at all, just constructive criticism. Thanks for taking the time to help out.
