Eric,

They look more like they were shot with a 50 than a 100.  You need to get in
closer, eliminate more ofl the meaningless background, make the faces bigger
in the frame.

Last Sunday morning I did a shoot with a family - a prelude to charging for
the service..

I was reasonably happy with the results - I have done better.
They loved it - so I guess it worked out well.

Thought it might be of interest, as nearly all were shot with an R7 with and
100mm APO lens.
This was my first real shoot with this lens. I learned alot.

Learned I need to stop down a bit more and concentrate on getting eyes into
razor focus.
Motion blur can be a bear when shooting under 1/125 s.
When you get it right, this lens is deadly sharp. (I like that, I know some
like softer 90mm lenses).

these are proofs - not final edits, so be cool:
