Updating the Gallery

PS: Please send me a PM about the lighting in this photos. I'm suspecting about a bad calibration on my monitor. Thanks in advance.

The collection for easier viewing:

Besides the backgrounds, a lot of smaller details were edited as well,
such as tones, eyes, skin smoothing on the ladies, lips, tie ;) etc.
All would actually benefit from a tighter crop as well, with a bit
off the top and right sides, but left them as sized.

Hey Brian,
I think an honorable thing to do for all that the members here have done for you in this project, is to spend some time returning the favor to this site in the way of participation, especially in the challenges & comments:

I thank you for the project, as since it started, I have learned how to lay down a radial gradient, then free transform it to a vignette, then blend adjustments and erasing back the person to the background layer to acheive the backlit look.

Whoa! Good point there, Brad. You've done a great amount of work on these portraits, as have others. I have to boycott putting my face on Brian's pics until he gives something back to the community here. :)

...Avg Vote Cast: 3.4 ??? Quite the harsh critic.

Hello - this thing on?

Was this a "I'll drop my pics off, fix 'em for me please, and I'll bolt when you're done with them" thread?

Did someone remember to pick up his dry cleaning? I can't do it, I'm taking his dog to the groomer, dropping his kids off at soccer practice, then writing a sales proposal he needs by Monday.

Y'all notice I dropped out of this one early on? My "used & abused" receptors don't need any more overloading...
