Some Portraits

Since I got my first flash, I have been taking a lot of portraits, so here are a few.











Please critique and comment!

Nice group of images. Like the tones in the first one. A little dark for my taste but still nicely done. Really like the casual look of the last one too. Looks like something you might see in a clothing ad.

Thank you!

I really like the first one. It's gritty and dark.. unlike most portraits nicely done!

I like the style of the first two, but I think the radius on your sharpening is set too high for these shots. If you lower the radius and up the amount of sharpening, then you may find it gives you a grittier sharpness which would fit much better with this type of grunge post processing.

For the portraits, way too much Noise Reduction or airbrushing, whatever you used. It makes the skin look too plastic-like. The last one is a good angle and I really like the concept. However, the eyes being closed is a bit odd, did you choose that on purpose?
