Action, Portraiture and the Completion of January's Shooting Goals

I made some goals at the beginning of January when I first got my new camera. Below are the fruits of my labor one day before the end of the month. This was the first time I had the opportunity to scout locations and have someone agree to pose for a while (thanks brother-in-law!). It was a lot of fun and I think we came away with some nice shots.

It was a nice overcast day. I didn't use a flash. The theme was rough urban backgrounds.





This shot screams senior portrait, lol.















Critique: I continually use too low of aperture (2 in this case) and end up with an eye out of focus (his right eye isn't very sharp). I need to be above 5.6 in a shot like this.
