Did you ever have a pic that you looked at a million times and never commented? LOL I love this picture. The colors are very vivid at give it a storybook like feel. Well deserved blue, congrats!

I think this is an ADORABLE portrait that a little post processing can help. It needs straightened and the lighting is pretty harsh.

I am going to respectfully disagree with Artyste on this one :)

I personally like the color on this one. I kinda like the street with the red background.

I am not sure, however, I like the angle. I think shooting from straight on could have improved this so that the lines of the building were straight across your frame.

I would have also pulled your subjects away from the background.

The mom and son look akward....like they are uncomfortable.

I agree with what Artyste said about warning people beforehand that you are just starting out. I still do that with people as I have only been doing portrait photography for 2yrs. Even a few weeks ago when I was called to do a family shoot, I told the lady that I am very comfortable with individual portraits but I don't have a ton of experience with families and waived my sitting fee.

Keep trying and keep an open mind and the only place to go is up :)
