Aleksandra (you have to give me your last name)

ISO 400, 1/640, f.2,8.
Great shot, although I would like the subject to be positioned a bit to the right, in the empty place on the wall. Overall, good use of composition, and well done posing.

ISO 400, 1/800, f.2.8
Nice moment, I like that the subject is smiling and good use of the surroundings and the reflection of the window. Remember, watch your corners and in a situation like this don't crop the hand

ISO 1000, 1/200, f.2,8.
Well done shot, I like that the background is out of focus, I like his pose and use of the environment. The subject is placed in the "thirds" as well as the buildings. Colors are also sticking and work well with this shot! Good job!
Elena Stamenkovska photos:

ISO 200, 1/80, f.3,2
Excelent use of the background and foreground, nice framing, but the focus is bit off. I used photoshop a little since the original photo was a bit overexposed.

ISO 200, 1/80, f.3,2
same explanation as before. Good and clean shot and the focus is much better in this one.

ISO 320, 1/30, f.3.2
Very good combination of candid, use of focus and f stops and great choice of the background.
The photo was overexposed a little but after photoshoping, it worked well contrasted and goes along with the color mode. Using 1/30 is too little to make a steady shot! Rule: the Aperture need to be in correlation with the zoom. Ex: If the lens zoom is set to 100mm - use at least 1/100 to prevent shakiness.
FILIP POPOVSKI

Iso 200, aperture 1/50 at f.6.3
Filip, Great use of the rule of thirds, I like her expression, and the out of focus background. I also dont mind the cool colors, although the original photo was washed out a bit. In a situation like this maybe is better to raise the ISO so you can have more freedome with aperture. Using a 200mm lend requires faster aperture (at least 1/125). Also changing the white balance to "cloudy" or "shade" would have given warmer tones to the photo.

ISO 200, 1/50 f. 5.0
The subject is nicely placed in the frame. Although the background is not perfect it works well and adds dynamic to the photo. Change the white balance to "cloudy" or "shade" next time to achieve normal colors.

ISO 200, 1/40, f.4.5
Although it's not a portrait photo, this is a nice moment. Again, white balance is the key and increasing the ISO in low light. good work!
HELENA:

ISO 800, 1/100, f.5.6
Excellent use of the graphic in the background (works best with her outfit) and well cropped action shot/portrait. Changing the white balance from auto to "cloudy" or "shade" would have probably added to the color saturation and the vibrancy of the shot.

ISO 800, 1/80, f.7,1
Great composition and framing and well captured moment. This photo might have been more striking if you used less f-stop, like 5,6. It would have blurred the background and the foreground more. I like that the subjects head is placed in the empty place between the trees in the back.

ISO 1250, 1/15, f.5.6 lens at 105mm
Great composition and use of repetition (the windows). Changing the white balance to "cloudy" would have given a warmer tone to the photo. Aperture of 1/15 is too little for zoom of 105mm. That's why the photo is a bit blurred. Rule: the Aperture need to be in correlation with the zoom. Ex: If the lens zoom is set to 100mm - use at least 1/100 to prevent shakiness.
TONI AROVSKI

ISO 250, 1/50, f.5.6
Great use of composition, I like the pale/cool colours works well with the moode of her expresion!

ISO 400, 1/8, f.6.5
Nice framing! I like the tilt, although aperture of 1/8 is simply too less to prevent the shakiness. Rule: the Aperture need to be in correlation with the zoom. Ex: If the lens zoom is set to 100mm - use at least 1/100 to prevent shakiness. Increasing the ISO and using faster aperture, and changing the white balance to "cloudy" or "shade" would have given warmer tones.

ISO 250, 1/320, f.5,6.
Posing against light is great techinque to make portraits! However you are facing great contrast in situation like this. An add on flash with reduced power might have given extra light to the face, or a using a reflector board (with assistant) could also work. I had to use Photoshop, to lighten the subject and darken the background.
All in all, great great work all!
See you next monday and I better have some photos to see from this weeked.
Best to all.
