Wow, you've got talent!

The moments are all so well frozen in your shots and the clarity of the photos makes me want to steal your camera.

I think the poses are all nice and very sunny. The warmth of a day out on a beach has been captured well.

Only for the "Fly" the sea and sand look blurred and hard to make out.

And I wish the model/subject would keep a nicer expression. I mean the "fun" doesn't really show on her face. It would be better if she were screaming out for joy or having a serene smile.

Also, for "Squish" the head-out-of-frame doesn't seem to work for me. I suggest you crop the torso too and only focus on the legs.

But on the whole these are really enjoyable shots.

These look very good. You do have talent with that camera!

The first one looks like a professional shot it.

I was mad that the second picture's head was cut off.

The third and fifth pictures are my favorite.

The only complaint I have is that the background lighting is to light. Other than that, these were excellent! See you later! :D

Hello! These are cool pictures, but I'm not sure I would buy them, maybe I would buy them off StockPhoto, to use in something like a presentation.

Anyways, Only a few things bug me. The background, is way, way, too bright! >< Also, like said above, maybe crop the Squish one, and maybe get a better expression on your face, if possible, because these look like you don't want to do it, and it is very hard. But besides that, these are nice pictures, and you should consider going to www.istockphoto.com and you can sell them there!

Good luck,

These are all really cool. I love the movement, it must have been really hard to get those shots timed perfectly. As far as the editing goes, they're really a bit washed out in every one except the first. See if you can separate the foreground and make that high-contrasty and overbrightened without totally washing out the background with white.

Try your luck on istockphoto, I have a couple friends who post their renders there and make a little money on the side to help pay for college. It's good stuff.

Baha these make me smile. I love how you've managed to completely capture that one millisecond and freeze it on a picture. Personally, I have horrible luck with this kind of thing.
Anywho, critiquing wise, some of them look a bit blurry and almost TOO bright. You can hardly tell what's sand and what's sky. But if that was the effect you were going for, ok, good job getting it!

I really like the first picture out of all of them.

I can never get people frozen in air like that with a camera, no matter how hard my friends try.

Maybe I need a better camera, though.

Still, all of these pictures are really good.

I didn't care for the one of the backside and the one really bright, but they were still good.

Overall, I'd say you have talent.
