[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 284701, member: 10447"] When I read the thread title, I took it as a question, even though there is no question mark (?). My initial thoughts on the photo were, the shadows on their faces detract from the photo a little, would be nice to see the details bought out a little. No surprise that many others gave constructive criticism along the same lines, I think Marcel had some excellent advice with the pop-up flash, would have made a world of difference. After reading further into the thread, I was unsure what the intent of the thread was. If you just wanted praise, you should have titled it differently, and said " I took these photos and they helped raise money for "X" charity. You would have got the praise, but I am sure some constructive criticism would have still been thrown in as well. You got given lots of good (and free) advice from some people "in the know" earlier in the thread but you seemed to ignore it, and maybe even seem a little annoyed by it. There are a lot of good and knowledgeable people on the forum here, who are willing to help you progress along the road to becoming a better photographer, you just have to let them help. I hope you have a nice day :). [/QUOTE]
