Let me offer my disclaimers before I begin to avoid further gun fire. It was not for the sake of anyones understandings to know what happen or god knows who or what this guy is trying to say. Sometimes in life, people get carried away. Likewise myself. Therefore I am not here to defend as you may or may not believe.
With the understanding that the man behind the viewfinder is the key person who ensure the photo images represents the best moments or originality, it is also a tough job when it comes to the pictures he desire to paint which best describe what he is trying to do. I am definitely not a photographer, but I have interest and desire in this area mainly because of the open space given to one who can exhibits his ideas and creativity in the photos. But having this open space further offer speaks of its own constraints of budget, resources, planning and execution.
While critics are absolutely important, I often see it being conveyed very generally. Here I am, not to penalize the critics though:
1) The arms and legs are chopped off
If the arms and legs are chopped off based on the original photo which is not done via cropping, then it is seriously a big mistake to show part of the arm, when the subject literally lose his/her hand in other words, the man behind the viewfinder fail to see. But in other perspective, if the photo has been intentionally cropped, or have been cropped in the process of using other processing technique, then the critics should be directing at the crop. A more logical instance would be I try asking you to fill a 200ml glass with 1litre of water, lets try to say this is possible. Yes, it is in the photography world; crop the image properly before using it in a video montage. It works, didnt it? But the details would have been gone. So it voice down to the photographer again, he didnt plan his shoot properly given such a chance. I gasp this since the beginning and it was further articulated. Thanks to you guys.
Now into the photos, it was really a trial shoot which was not planned at all. If you have seen it, you gotta be a pro. For me personally, it was really a test on the ground since it is my first 1 to 1 session. What I presumably like to do, is to look at how many images can be kept at the end of the day and how much improvement I have made based on the last few group shots which I have done. I must say I am not satisfied based on my thirst, nevertheless I was contented to see marginal improvements from the passport looking photos with poor background, not noticing awkward fingers, tissues, rubbish bins, double chin and whatever you can imagine. LOL
For my rebuttals, I just got to apologize to the following members as I seriously had one superb bad day of front and back squeezing of two different matters. Herewith extend my sincere apologies to the following CS members:
Cutecdo
Zac08
Vince123123 You got a studio, believe you can offer much more professional critics. =)
Lightning
Nerdie - Thanks for saying something positive, I can do much better but I don't have the photos I need to do the montage.
Peapilot I really see plenty of points from your views given your patience in writing. =)
Deadpoet Your photos are truly inspiring, but give me better guidance pls than CMI. =)
(In case, I miss out your nicks, I am also thankful for your remarks and seriously no offends here, just being honest)
Also, thanks to those guys who have helped me start photography, and I wont mention your names in case you got into some gay trouble due to my Strong artillery firing power.
All thankful, my problem solved here, and I look forward for my next shot, hopefully planned and executed properly this time as I seriously got some theme which was drafted on a script. However still lack of resources.
Ok, I am out. Ciaos and have a great week!
P/S: I would be uploading a different video with some other problems that I already identified but hopefully this time, the HD upload can work.

Eh, non intentional, but it was the space of the forum. luckily the moderators didnt turn up.
I miss those group shots actually, but really poor to afford them now. But if there is a cheap one, I really want to test my ground skills again. Maybe can keep me informed but I gotta' ask permission from my officer in charge otherwise stormy weather will rise again.
Are you guys interested in shooting the lady in the following photo + another charm(no photo for this yet cos still pending) but I gotta ask her?

On the contrary, I feel there's too much things. A little distracting.
But its quite nice overall.

Yeah if u are referring to the background, it is alittle clusty but maybe the pose that i guide was a little wrong, though it does match the expression.

Pardon my ignorance but how did u get the sharp look on the model with the rest softened out? Looks like T/S lens or is it PPed? Thanks.
Yup it is done via PP. Any subject that is too close to the background won't produce this effect. Anyway it is noobish work which I am still brushing on.
The effect is lensblurr from photoshop. Perhaps, you can read about it as I am no pro in this area.
