Looks like loads of fun

Nice to see you back KK - looks like you had loads of fun!

Now down to business..

I think it's always difficult to take photos indoors, esp if you're not in control of the full set or have studio lighting. For eg, in pic 3 I would have got the guys in the background to get out of the way, or told the kid in 6 to shove off kept the barman in 7 (although not behind the pillar) and got rid of the other chap to the left, and then maybe got the two talking a but closer together so it's more of an intimate feel. 5 is a say cheese type photo so I wouldn't know where to begin there lol. Again with 8 I'd have got them closer together, and maybe swapped the models a bit as they look half asleep

The one that stands out for me is 4, it looks like a natural shot and gives you a feeling of being in the moment

Sorry for all the 'criticals' but these sections have changed - did you want this in the General sharing section instead?

Nice informal shots KK... no 4 for me, for a couple of reasons... lol the expression on her face is brilliant and catching the cards mid shuffle

oh and where was my invite lol

No 4 for me too KK, simply because you've caught the light just right, and the depth of field is just enough to make both subjects stand out...and by that I mean the girl AND the cards, lol
I also like the irony in 7, with the sign above the bar, it's a nice idea, but I don't like looking at the back of the lady's head. I'd much prefer you coming round to the left a bit more in order to capture her face, even if only a tiny bit more.
With the rest, it looks like you've been taken out of your comfort zone ever so slightly ( your studio ) where you are in complete control of the environment ( lighting, backdrop, wardrobe, props etc ). I always like to see your posed studio shots of you and your boys ( although the eye enhancements still freak me out ever so slightly ) but it's nice to see some of your work from out in the field in order to compare it to what you usually post

Loving number 4 for the comedy, the sign and the blatant disregard of it

I might be tempted to crop 3 a little closer in and remove the oof distractions on the edges.

Shots taken in a situation like these will always be busy but think that on the whole you have handled the possible distractions very well.
