first ones ive really ever done. The shadow under the chin bothers me on the third shot, but I figured I'd show everyone just for fun. be merciful on the comments! lol

The 2nd one here is my favorite of the bunch (although they're all nice!). I just really like the expression you caught...more knowing, I think.

The third, yes...the shadow isn't quite right...but still, a nice group of portraits!

My favorite is the 4th one. She has a much more open approach to the camera, her smile is brighter, there are less awkward shadows around her eyes and the black blazer is diminished. Keep plugging away it and try new things. Portraits aren't as easy as they appear.

yes, i agree on #4. It is my personal favorite, but she opted to go with #2. It's a more mysterious shot, like Emily said, and that's what she was going for. She needed this for a resume for acting.

thanks for the comments. I really love this 50mm f/1.8 for portraits.
