1) If your stopping action, make sure your shutter speed is fast enough...use of fill flash outside will also help. If your subject is moving a lot, set your camera on continuous focus (Nikon) or AI Servo (Canon) to help track your subject. 2) Selectively focus on your subjects eyes...don't let the camera choose the focus point. Once again, flash will give some 'catch light life" to the eyes and help them stand out. You can also brighten the eyes in your edit software (if you have it) 3) Most of the images look a little dark and muddy...once again, a little fill flash would go a long way

I've just moved this over to the technique area because it's much better suited to a discussion of the broad technique, and critique is for 1 shot at a time. Thanks!
