Hey dude,
Nice photos, however can I give you a bit of criticism?
You have some very spoilerish photos in there, you should pull them out. Also, I have to be honest I don't care for the zombie make-up. There is too much normal skin color showing through and when you dump this into the editor you are going to have to kill the saturation to hide the normal skin tone.
The red heads make-up looks good but the brunettes leaves a lot to be desired. Also, you should tell them not to wear mascara to the set. Because their eyes have heavy eyeliner it makes the make-up look that much more hokey. The brunette has some blush on her face and it shows right through the make-up.
You had mentioned you had a 10K budget? You should spend a g or so on pancake make-up and really cover them up. Also to save makeup tell people to wear t-shirts, not tank-tops. With minimal clothing it takes more work to cover up and will show more errors in the make-up process.
Just some friendly advice.

Who cares what other people say, it is your vision. I had tons of complaints about the fact I have running zombies, and I say ya know what "my vision has running zombies and slow zombies. If the running zombies are a problem for you... don't buy the DVD."
Never let someone dictate your production. If they were financially backing the project its one thing, if they are just commenting to comment just ignore it. Remember DAWN 2004 made $100 million worldwide and it had running zombies. Return of the Living Dead part 1 had running zombies and it made $$$$, 28 days later, although some argue not zombies... still listed as a zombie horror film, made $$$ and the infected ran.
If you envisioned running zombies, put them in there don't compromise because someone has a liking to one style over another. If you start compromising now whats gonna happen when you want to make another film? Are you going to compromise again?
If you make a good flick, with action, story, and more regardless of how your zombies move is the least of your worries. People who complain about running zombies really can't find anything else to bitch about so they pick one thing like running zombies and debate it to death. The biggest argument is how can zombies run... they're dead. Well you can answer right back it is a zombie film, you have to let part of your imagination run wild. If you're willing to believe the dead are coming back to life you have to also check anyother notions you have right at the door.
Dude, seriously screw the complaints and put the runners back in. If you make a good movie no one is going to care.
