They are a very nice couple and it didnt take long to get comfortable with each other at all. These were taken at a couple local costal parks here in Portland. The weather wasnt the best but I think it worked. Take a look at some of the B&W's for me(do they look right?) they looked great in LR but between export and upload to SM they seemed to have got much brighter.

    4 7 10 15 I really like.
    Lots of cool shots.
    I really like some of the settings.
    10 is my favorite.
    I am on my work monitor so can't say for sure on the black and whites but they look ok here. Nothing looked to blown out, nice job with all that white.

    Thanks for the feed back on the black and whites. Its weird though they are different between in lightroom to hosted. Number 10 was my favorite of the day as well.

    Thanks guys! It really helps to see everyones favorites.

    I wasnt sure if people would like #12 (or get it). This is good news, I was excited about that one. Thank you.

    I really like them. All of em. :D The color looks fine.

    I'm having the same issue with the brightness upon export. It seems to have just begun, as well. I'm hoping I didn't trip a setting somewhere.

    Beautifully seen. I was scrolling along and 10 made me stop but then 12 & 13 really got me. They're wonderful.

    Thanks for all the comments and feedback! I really appreciate it.

    PWP- I need to do some searching about the LR export as well. It sucks to have yet another variable to work with. Sometimes colors seem to come more saturated as well.

    Thanks for the comments, The couple were happy with them. From the looks of the stats they sent quite a bit of friends and family to check them out. Their only nit was the guy didnt like one of his profile shots(he didnt like his nose in it) I dont think I posted that one though.

    Thanks again!
