I'm relatively new to photography and would love to get valuable feedback.
Oh yeah, this is for Annika...
Taken with the almost fabulous Elan 7E. :)
Thanks in advance!

At least you used the incredible 28-135 f/3.5/5.6 IS USM.
Btw, your wife is hot. But you knew that already....

If I had a EOS-1D, I could get 10 of her.
EOS-1D = Babe Magnet !!!

I thought you wanted feedback? Instead, you are trying to sell your wife to
Annika for some crappy digital equipment that will loose value by the
minute? Shame on you! ;-)) And Annika, are you a Mormon or Muslim to be
capable and willing to have and support two wifes??
Anyway, the pictures are very nice and that's all I can say for I am not a
composition or exposition expert by now. (But, . . . maybe the baby would
be placed better in the "goldene Schnitt", meaning that . . .
When you take the picture and divide it into 1/8 section, it is most
appealing to the human eye when you put your subject into the position
marked by the 3/8 section in both x- axis and y-axis. (That's what I
learned back in school when we were shooting black and white in 11th grade.
I am sorry, I have problems with my English when it gets this technical.
Hope you get the point.) The baby is -in my view- actually to close to the
border. Shouldn't be in the center either but . . . in the "goldene
Schnitt".)
I like your pictures better than Annika's, btw.

around the mirror so that I can instantly recognize the shape and know what I'm
looking at -- though the wiper helps. Otherwise, pretty nice picture. I haven't
seen the face in the car mirror shot done a whole lot better. I'm not sure
exactly what her expression says but it's somewhat interesting. It makes you
wonder anyway. It might be better if her head were looking the same way but her
eyes were directed at the mirror. I'm not saying ask her to do it but rather
just wait until it happens.
On the other hand, I would have cropped the baby photo much tighter. I don't
see any reason to include so much couch. I'm thinking at least a square and
perhaps a vertical.

Oh jeez, now I'm sorry I responded to this post. I wish I could take back my
critique.

I actually have another shot of the mirror picture where I pulled back a bit
and you can see much more of the windshield and can tell what it is much
better. When I posted that one I guess I was in an abstract mood. :)
I think her thought was "Put that damn camera away while we are in the car
before I wrap it around your head." :)

for her. Final offer.

Knowing how Annika1980's wife looks, it's understandable
that he's trading her in for hardware. Of course, he'd
want that younger and skinnier woman. I don't condone it;
but nevertheless understand it. As far as camera being
a babe magnet, is that how it is in Tennesee ?
Joe: the pictures are cute. Glad to see you trying
out new things.

digressing!
To be honest, this portrait does very little for me - the sitter's
head seems to be disembodied in a sort of mist and it is not clear
that one is looking at a reflection in a mirror.
The most 'effective mirror portraits'that I have seen show the sitter
looking at their reflection in the mirror - in profile for example
with a full face reflection:probably tricky to do and I have never
tried it - but perhaps I will now - or when I can swap my wife for a
younger model!
Another problem for me is that the colours look washed out and the
picture is lacking in contrast.
The baby is cute - but as another poster has indicated - looks lost on
that settee - zooming in close would be more effective.Here too there
is a lack of contrast, which I have found is typical of photo's taken
with the extremely diffused light resulting from flash bounced on the
ceiling.
What sort of processing lab did you use by the way?
I hope that all this doesn't sound too destructive...!
