Hi everyone, long time no post!

I decided to take some portraits of my girlfriend one day since I've never tried portraits before. Most of these were taken with my Canon 100 2.8 macro and 50 1.8. Speedlite 430ex used in all of them. Please tell me what you think! And be honest!

    Nice series. Really like #2 and the sepia profile a lot. Also liking a lot of the one after that (b/w) through the partially blown playscape is kinda bugging me (get rid of the blown stuff in the b/g -- I think). I want to like the first, but I think there's a bit of lack of 'pop' to it ne_nau.gif

    In the close-ups, her eye whites look a little blue. So does the fur...... headscratch.gif

    There is a bit of noticeable blue in the eyes, isn't there?. I don't see it really in the fur. I'll have to try and fix that. Thanks everyone.
