A very good documentary group, if done for a group well done and if done for yourself a great effort. The following may sound harsh but is just musing to confirm artistic decisions or start thinking through your choices. http://www3.sympatico.ca/w_gower/home/temp/images/Norman.html I like the catching of these two men but on the low resolution web I don't see some of the details you bring up in your text. Also, you mention showing off how fat so maybe a vertical to show the profile? For situations like this have you thought about using a wider lens closer to the main subject? http://www3.sympatico.ca/w_gower/home/temp/images/Debra.html This is probably my favorite of the group. You have well captured this person and her environment as well as making a statement of how important her dog is to her. In a similar future situation have you thought about using your subject to echo the silo's: posing as if the person was a beginning or continuation of the silo's? http://www3.sympatico.ca/w_gower/home/temp/images/Victoria.html Here, you have done a wonderful job of disguising the fact that you used a flash. You probably could have used a little more flash to open up more of the left side of her face. I would have tried a no flash shot exposing for her face and letting the windows blow out wrapping her face in a enveloping glow of light. Don't let the above sound like these are not strong images, they are effective. I only hope that by saying what I see you will in turn either reinforce your decisions or think of different ways to say what you want to say with your images.
