Hi there. Love the natural poses from both them here .Yes little ones hair should be out from her face but thats kids.What bothers me with all three photos is you have managed to get a great depth of field but what i cannot work out is why your main subjects look very soft have a look at KKbirds portraits she is better at portraits than me . My flowe shots used to be soft
and i eventually changed my lens and removed the UV filter from the front.

I agree Rich. I think it may be that my lenses and UV filters are on the low end. Even at higher f stops, I will get soft images. I can only take post sharpening so far, before it becomes less than natural. I will have to experiment and maybe upgrade my glass.

A follow up Rich: I upgraded my glass (I had been wanting to for sometime anyway) and the biggest problem seems to have been with my filters, as I was starting to get soft images again.
And, it didn't help me out by buying higher end filters either. It looks like filters and I just do not get along.
I have also tested each of my lenses, and I've found the acceptable 'sweet spot' for each one. It subjective of course, but I have found that know my lenses as well as always working with proper light (natural or otherwise) has really improved my IQ.

Thank you so much for all your help and suggestions along the way. Everyone on this site has always kept me inspired!

Nice picture with blur, little bit bokeh and dark background. What kind of glass you use ?

Thank you purwoadi!
I use different lenses for different circumstances. This shot was taken with the nifty fifty—a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II—it’s a light, fast, and fairly inexpensive lens with pretty good image quality. And, on a crop sensor camera, like the T2i used for this pic, it acts a little more like an 80mm, which makes it one of my reliable lenses for portraits.
I always carry this lens on me, even over my EF 50 1.2, because it is so light and small… and in my opinion, one always needs a 50mm—rather it be on a full-frame or crop sensor.
Hope that helps!
