Yes
Last weekend the kids were playing nicely so I decided to get some practice shots in of them playing. But we ended up getting some nice poses too, which made a nice change lol. Here is the first edit, I will add some more in a day or two.

Taken on my 60D with a Tamron 17-50mm at f5. I used a Canon 430EXII that was sat on a little table that was about 2 feet off the top right corner. I had it firing at the ceiling with a diffuser cap on.
C&C greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking, Mike
 
thats brilliant...to balance a bit for the eye to stay stationary vertically
try slowly moving the top border down
cheers

So I've been through the set again and the ones that look any good compositionly (is that a word:confused: ) are off on the focal point with the exception of the one below. But hay, that's why it was a practice session. Im not sure about the skin tones in this though. I have adjusted them very slightly with the Adjust Colour For Skin Tone tool. What do you think?

Ah right lol. I was concerned about it being accceptable but also think its not overly distracting because of the net curtain being out of focus rather than a big white space.

What I meant was I'm glad you pointed out about the window and that I dont think youre being fussy because it's better to get it right.... or something like that:LOL:(y)
