Great shot Kelly, and great DOF. I didn't see any problem until somebody mentioned the fencepost. Once it's pointed out it's a tad distracting. Before I read that, I was thinking this shot was perfect.

Superb! The composition here is much better with the lines naturally drawing the eye into the scene. The left shadow line (and its reflection), the dock and the waterline all pull one into the scene quite nicely.

Love the colors here but do think that isolating a unique feature and working on an interesting compositional angle would have been even more superb. This does seem to cry out for some filters to experiment with . . . especially polarized and UV. Your portraits are great but I think you'd be good at this too.

Wow. Very interesting. Unique in the subject matter and compelling with the young, unclean hands . . . hands clearly unafraid of work. Fascinating.

Kelly,
Lighting is good as is the pose, well done here as I think this is one of your best! The image here could be a bit sharper but that's probably your scanner.

The best thing about it is the composition. The lighting is direct, straight-on flash, which is kind of hard on the face and skin. Their expressions really win you over, though.

Kelly,
The lighting is good but the scan is what is making this image look bad. Good pose with no distracting background, nice props in the foreground.
Are you scanning with a flatbed scanner or film scanner? Don't compress the image as much when saving a jpg. Try to keep your image in the 85-100 range.

Really great idea in capturing the innocence. Perhaps a higher quality photo would have improved the composition of the picture as well as lighting. I have to say though that the cone (2003) detracts from the face, which is what you are trying to focus on. Furthermore, getting a little bit closer to the girl would have captured the eyes as well as posture of hands. The background grass isn't needed to much, so less is okay. Also, it would capture the shoulders and no back. Again this is good to focus on the face and hand posture.

Definately red, Kelly. She looks severely sunburned in this one. Could be the light, or the film, like Jeroen said. There appears to be a shadow across both of their heads, too. I think there is too much wasted space in the frame around them, and my eye goes to the big hunk of wood in the center, instead of the people. The sunburn makes her teeth appear very white however, and her obviously colored hair shows the dark roots too much in this light. Perhaps more overcast sky would help that.

composition: too centered, could do with a tighter crop too.
Light: slightly dark.
Colours: oversaturated, tending to a reddish cast (what film did you use? Some films, especially consumer Agfa and Kodak are notorious for that).
Depth of field could be more shallow, leaving the background more blurred than it is now.

Kelly,
I like the pose but the shot is dark and soft. I don't like the tree in the background. Brighten up the shot with some fill lighting and choose a different background and I think you would have a better shot here.
