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.

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.

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.

What gorgeous kids! I lurve 2.8 lens and they are fantastic for portrait work... the first would be my pick mainly because its so different.. the hand in front makes me laugh as I've seen that sooo many times! I also really like the second but would have preferred a tiny bit more dof to get her other sharp also.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Thanks. I do agree with you about the second shot. I was very much enjoying using a lens with such a shallow DOF, but I would probably take some different shots next time. It was a new experience for me shooting at 2.8, and it takes some getting used to. For reference, the lens was a 24-70mm 2.8 AFS borrowed from a friend, and I found it incredibly addictive.

Here are a couple of others.
