The light from the flash is a bit too harsh on the last pic... probably need to -ve compensate a little bit

[alvinlau]

I like the set, especiallly #1 and #3. Nicely captured and composed. Agreed with LM, the flash is too harsh on the last pic.

[ckchowov]

#4 is like a dolphin jump!

[alancheong7]

#1, lower angle needed, much lower - to accentuate the things and the distance to the children

The rest, except for the last, is underexposed lor, hence the flash in the last is welcome.
Wish can see the children's expressions :D Especially the last one but that would mean high possibility of your cam getting wet :D:D
If the flying high can get where the boy is in the air without daddy's hands touching or so near would be nicer.
Looks like you'll need a couple of brollies and strobes for beach outings :D:D

very familiar.....the statement is almost exactly like what my wife told me everytime when we are on vacation.....except "the current is very strong la"..hahahaha

Nice pics, QQ....#1 & #3 tops.....but i think you need to adjust the curves to increase the contrast and improve the saturation. :thumbs_up:

[blur]

Just some nit-pickin' here ...

#2 (Drawing) - crop the person standing on the right.
#4 (Watchful Eyes) - colours look washed out due to the flash.

on a side note, ooooh .. i wished i could have spent my Sunday like this :)

Kids are fun, isn't it ? Now my daughter prefers to stand behind the camera instead of herself being captured in the pix. :D

Well, agree with others, need to worry about your compositions a bit. :)
