1. I would have the first card in focus. I have the urge to read, but it is hard to do as the first card is the only card I can see all of.

2. In this case I can't read anything, while I feel that is what I am supposed to be doing.

4. Again I am frustrated by not being able to read the card. I wonder what is being authenticated, but it is not a good wonder.

3. I think this is my favourite. To be picky, I wish the lighting on the mic was more even. The dark is too dark, the light to light. Maybe if you came at it from the other side, though I assume you wanted the grate and/or it would have made things difficult to shoot.

Que pasa, baby?

turkey!
these are great. seems you have a natural skill for the closer up shots.
(p.s. i miss you lot. give dweeb huggies and kissies from me, and send me your postal address, i am sending over a package of presents for everyone if disco doesn't have enough room in her bag when we send her home in a few days)

other than some cropping differences or maybe smaller fstops to exaggerate the depth of field, i wouldn't change much about these shots. you are definitely making major improvements.

much love. i miss you lot!

I like the playing card one, but other than that the pics seem kind of lacking something, just like dull, keep shooting.

Number two is my favorite, far and away. It's not even the subject that's so great, although old documents are always cool. It's the lighting here that does it. The wall which the clipboards are hung on has a very rich color, and due to the way the papers have been manipulated, shadows are cast across both documents in random arrangements, and I really love the effect. The rest didn't have a very strong grip for me.

I'd like to see some "rule of thirds" layout on number 2 and maybe more contrast?
So not really a re-shoot, just a photoshop touchup i guess.
I like # 2 a lot though, as well as your first version of the cards one...

And now that I look at them again, I would like #6 a lot more if the focus was either on the window or the building outside, it seems like its not on either.
But maybe thats just the dirty window making it look that way.
