Ooooh. . .nice job! The composition really enhances his "look". Kind of intense and dramatic, but with an inner softness that comes thru with the light and the colors. I like it alot.

I like it. Kind of edgy and glamorous at the same time :) She looks like she was a good sport and a fun model to work with -- and you did a good job capitalizing on it.

Very pretty!! At first, I thought it looked exactly perfect as is -- but then when I read the comment about possibly making it a little off-center, I think Jedusi may be right. I'm thinking of Librodo's, the master at these kinds of shots, poses, and he always off-centers them for a little more drama and emphasis.

I like it. I like the intensity of the eyes and the high contrasty look works great with this! I haven't worked my way back to the earlier shots of yours, but this one is really good!

Ohhhhhhhh MAN! HE is BEAUTIFUL! And YOU did him such fabulous justice! Are those the tell tale hints of dred locks? OMG. . . he is amazing looking. I hope you captured him for the 1 in 7 billion portraits challenge going on. Cuz he IS!

Gunnar -- fabulous (of course). It's so much more than "a portrait". Its the capture of soul and an old man's life in one shot! Dang you are good at that!

I liiiiike it! She has a perfect look for that edgy processing. What an excellent use of bleach bypass. I don't think I've ever been able to pull off using that filter where it looked good like this. Here, it looks very much like it belongs and just naturally fits with the look you went for. She's very pretty too by the way. This could be a book cover :)

Oooooh. . . I like! I actually prefer the contrasty version. She looks like she has such a self-confidence -- almost to the point of having "attitude" (in a good way), so I think the slightly more edgy look suits her. Amazing job!!
