cute photos. there is a little to much orange in them and they could do with a touch more sharpening

hi mate do you recall where you focused on these as on the 1st the button on his shoulder looks sharper than the eyes...
always a good idea if possible to focus on the eyes ...
as said already a few tweaks would bring these out very nicely..
i like the pose in the 2nd.

i have always tried to focus on the eyes when i shoot people, however the only people i shoot on a regular occation are my boy's (their too young to complain lol), and they NEVER stop moving lol.
Just checked the metadata, i did shoot these with my sigma 18-200, at f6.3 and 9 respectively, which admittedly is probably too wide. my autofocus is set to the centre point and i try to focus then re-compose.
back to the old school report card comments: must try harder lol

Out of interest, why do you think f9 is too wide? Should get all the Depth of Field you need at that aperture, I tend to use f8 for these portraits.
