Here are a few fun ones to kick off:

A great set, Jen - only thing I'm not keen on is the crop on No 3 (probably too much space above and not enough body below, if you get my drift?). (y)
 
I really like these Jen - particularly the last one :) Please can you share the EXIF on that one???
 
These are great! Just the sort of thing I want to do soon!
 
I absolutely LOVE #1. We just had some snow in our area. What is the technique to have the exposure read correctly on the bright snow? Did u used grey card?
#3 is lovely, too much tree IMHO on a right....
Thanks for sharing :)

Hi Derek - yes I thought that too, I have a little more underneath him but not enough in the original. From memory I am sure I chopped his hand off! lol

Hi there - yes this was a tricky one to expose as the room was pitch black. The settings are ISO 6400, F1.8 @1/50. I wanted grain in this one as I was looking for a particular finish on it. Thanks for your kind comment.

I expose for the snow then add a stop to make it look white rather than grey. In this instance I didnt use my grey card and shot in auto WB as we were having a snowball fight in the garden.

Yes, I havent cropped the tree photo yet - and I would certainly crop off the top and rhs.
Thanks for your comments(y)

Really nice, 1 & 3 are the picks for me - although the last is quite interesting too.
 
as everyone else said a lovely set.
3 and 4 are my favorites for me especialy 3 the sharpness and colours are great,
can i ask what lens these were taken with.
wish my daughter would stay still enough to take these kind of photos

I used my 85mm on all of them, except the last one was my 50mm
Thanks for your kind comment.

+1 and for the same shot would have gone slightly to the left (more angle to change the plane of focus so would have got more of the tree/wall) in focus. overall fantastic set(y)
 
Loving this set!

#2 is brilliant, can see my daughter wanted to do that!
 
1. Cute
2. Nice catch!
3. Nice shot, but I think I'd play with a crop LHS, or even make it landscape
4. Nice.
5. Brrrrrrr - cold :)

Where were these shot Jen?

Thanks for your feedback. I have more of the wall and the trees in the original (I think - would need to check :thinking:) I actually wanted the wall partly out of focus though.

love the bokeh with the 85mm , was it taken wide open?

I think F1.8 or f2.

Thank you - nr 2 is one of a bigger set but I just chose the first one I saw in my file. It was lots of fun at the time. :)
 
Absolutely love the first one, Jen. She looks like a little gunfighter ready for action. Must be the snowball fighting. ;)

Thanks Fly TVR - These were either shot in my house, garden or in a park. My kids are the hardest subjects to photograph but Dolly Mixtures usually come in handy :)

Good tip, thanks! I tried it yesterday. :D Not sure I got anything good as
a) my super model (4.5y daughter) was too excited playing with snow
b) sun was already too low.
I'll process over the weekend to see if I got something good :cool:
