A Couple of Kids...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I had never tried any photography of little kids and I was expecting quite a challenge trying to get them to stay still etc.
Well I was right, it is a challenge, so after 5 mins of trying I gave up and decided to just use the 50mm f/1.8 and follow him around and get a candid.
The baby on the other hand, I was expecting to be a breeze, oh how wrong I was. She was by far the hardest subject I have tried to shoot.

Anyway, these are the results. For the record, I have permission to post the shots and the kids are my little cousins.

Some Critisism or any comments would be great.

What cute kids! Your soooo right about photographing babies...they are a challenge...but the shot you have taken here is just great!

And for your first time at childrens portraiture you have done a really good job....they are sharp enough...look natural and I am sure that Mum will be well chuffed with them...
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)
