Photography: Still Learning

I tried using a reflector today.  I discovered the windshield sun blocker in the trunk of the car would make a great reflector.  I made Charlie hold it while I took some shots of the kids at our barren park.  It was really hard to find a decent backdrop so don't pay attention to that or the funky shadows on the dead grass.  The idea was to get more familiar with the reflector.  It amazed me how much it improved the photos.  Here's what I got.
