Just a few to share. It's my first ever, so C&C welcome - be brutal!

Hey Nicci!

First of all, thanks so much for sharing and for wanting to learn and grow. Congrats on completeing your first E-session - it's all up from here! Practicing a LOT is the best advice I can give.

I would encourage you to try and capture their faces. None of the 3 of these pictures shows faces, which is incredibly important. Do you have some that you captured where we can see them that you would be willing to post?

Also, I don't totally love the processing on these. Why don't you post a few that have not been edited (scary, I know) so we can see what you're starting with.

Way to be bold! It's so scary to ask for CC, but it's a great thing to do!

Stacy - thanks for the reply and the constructive criticism! This is why OSP rocks

This couple does, believe it or not, have faces :-) Here are a couple SOOC to prove it:











I know already that a different time of day (for better light) is a must for next time, and my fill flash technique (or lack thereof!) needs work.

If you don't mind sharing, what is it about the processing that you didn't like? I'm not married to these edits, so any suggestions will be gladly accepted! I'm still playing around with post-processing a lot, so I've been trying a lot of different things.
