3 Black & Whites from a shoot on Sunday. They look great in color as well but am enjoying the elegant looks of timeless b&w.

    #3 works best to my eye. Nice lighting. I like this style a lot.

    I have a thing against disposable diapers. Just a personal taste issue.I bought some cloth diapers for my studio for babies. I had to teach a mom how to pin a cloth diaper on. They also make diaper covers for the disposables. Just makes a classier image.

    Thanks everyone....I realize some like the 3rd, some don't....it was a concept I had and was pleased to execute it the way it was in the mind's eye. I'll do some more of these types......maybe without a floating head..Laughing.gif

    Was a really fun shoot that day and did some cool high key stuff as well. I processed these in a more "higher" key style as it looks good to my eye anyway! Thank you all for weighing in...it's fun to see the differences of everyone's likes and dislikes :D

    Great shots.

    One really small nit pick. . .

    #2
    it feels the light is too hot on the back of his neck. Draws attention away from the center.

    The b/w's are gorgeous and the lighting on #3 is incredible. thumb.gif The color versions are nice as well except I agree with Nik on the waist-cut.
