@sujoy thanks , the problem is that using my 18-55 lens , its very hard to focus , so i just wanted to know any entry level budget lens that can help me focus better .

 

[sujoyp]

This time I tried my best to get good backgrounds

Kjuvale: Beautiful shots!

Sujoyp: Great shots but i think pics lack some contrast and bit saturation and in some shots(like the 2nd last) the bkgrnd is too bright which distracts the eye from main subject...that's what i felt but i guess toofan would be the right person to provide feedback on this ... and that's one evil face in the 1st pic nice capture!

 

[sujoyp]

@jagg...you r right about contrast and saturation...It maybe coz I took all of them in direct sunlight.

Above pics are updated

 

[jagg89]

ahh yea it happens in direct sunlight.. looks better now!

 

[sujoyp]

@jagg thanks
