Nice photos JamesI couldn't tell you just started. They look pretty good. You like to play with the vibrance/saturation sliders don't you?
I rarely like shots that are B+W with a few colored items, but I like the ladybug-shot.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Bob, the last shot, I agree with you, unfortunatley that day she wasn't co-operating as much as she was in the first set of photos. I want to buy a speed light so that I can bounce the light off of the ceiling. I just purchased a 7-in-1 light reflector as well which I'm looking forward to trying. I normally don't like B&W shots for portraits however I thougt it'd be neat to focas on the lady bug.

Welcome, James!! I think you did a fantastic job on these photos ...they sure look like you have been doing this for awhile! With such a willing model, I think you are going to be able to get a great deal of practice time in! I am looking forward to seeing more in the future!
I have been debating for awhile now on which 5-in-1 or 7-in-1 reflector to get. Which one did you get and would love to get your opinion of it.

I have this one, however I don't think I'll ever use the green/blue screen and am going to see if they'll exchange it for the 5-in-1 version. I like it so far, but you need adequate light elsewhere for it to reflect properly which I'm sure you know.
