Those taken outdoors suffer from lack of separation from the background, the exceptions being the ones taken in the shade where the use of a bigger aperture has thrown the background nicely out of focus and those shots are much stronger for it. The best images for me are the ones with the photographic backdrop and I saw no fault with how they were lit, on the contrary, I thought you set things up very well. I appreciate that you posted such a large number so that the subjects could view them but if they were my shots I would rather the viewers spent more time with an edited set than just a few seconds on each of the 200+ posted and for that reason I think a 'best of' gallery would have been a good idea. I did check them all and they are colourful, unusual and the subjects look very willing to be photographed. You made a good job of showing that. Thanks for posting. --Graham
