My first time

using a digi slr and trying a couple of portraits. Mum and daughter. Oh, and cat. Mum slightly soft on one but liked thoughtful expression. Took on JPEG so not messed with. Did not know about RAW but do now.

I like these. The second one with the cat is quite lovely. I really like the catchlights.

Really good efforts for someone just starting out!

Don't afraid to try some processing on jpg.

Thanks for your comments. I have messed around with this jpeg. To show more detail.

I like that one! Nice lighting and composition!

We haven't been giving any advice here though as this isn't actually the 'Critiques' section. But ask for it and you'll get it anyhow ;)
