What camera did you use? It seems a bit out of focus and the contrasts are kind of bland

			the blur on the background is on purpose. the picture of course i did some touch ups on photoshop afterwards... 
my camera..casio exilim ex-s500. 
nothing pro; but it's handy.

			^ Yes I know the background is purposely blurred, but I’m talking about them. It doesn't look like their faces are in focus much

			Wow, calm down. I am stating that they are posers and that is a problem? I'm stating an obvious fact as you said they are posing for the camera.   
Anyhow, I feel that the background is too busy with the trees and cars. Try to avoid that.

			hmmm, i don't see any blur on their faces. but maybe that's because of the position of their faces. since their faces are not near the centre of the picture...

			well, there are many meanings in poser; but lets not get into that. i want to pay more attention to the photo. 
as of the background, i completely understand what you mean as i already did take some few things away through photoshop. at least the most color contrasting objects i took away. 
the cars are a major problem though. i will take some better ones next time i go out with them.

			hmm looks like a regular snapshot to me. I think the crop is too tight tho and the colors are a bit flat.

			of course, i don't have one of those crazy cameras with those 10 feet coloured posters as a background to take a completely outragous shot. 
as of the crop being too tight, i tried to get as much focus on the girls as possible, there were a lot of distractions at that beach that day -_-; but yes, colors can definately be a little warmer. i tried to add a touch of yellow and orange to it to give it a warmer feeling. maybe i'll add a little more intensity to it then.

I think the auto focus calculated the front of her elbow inturn making the face a bit soft

			The girl on the left seems to be trying to hard, the one on the right looks more natural and relaxed. Good start   . Did you try focusing on one of them and then recomposing? It is a bit out of focus.

			no no no as said before...the focus is because of my damn camera. i don't get to do the manuel focus cuz it's just a compact. 
i'll be getting a better one soon.

Does this mean your cameras broken, or your cameras fault that it didn't focus properly??

			well, as i said, it's on auto focus, i don't exactly know what i can do with it to change the focus of it when i take the picture.... 
i myself is hoping that my little tinky camera of mine would give me a manuel depth of field feature. haha

			he was saying that you point the camera directly at one of the girls to get the focus right (by pressing the shutter button half-way) and then recomposing and pressing the button the rest of the way. That's how you play with focus on a p&s.
