    100 views and no comments? Is it that bad? Be honest.

    It looks great lol. A senior shot? What's the purpose. That'll probably help to figure out if you met your goal :D

    It was just an informal shoot in my backyard. I might be doing his senior pics though. He is going to ask his parents.

    I would like to see him straight up - and PLEASE get rid of those two spots - upper right and at head to left.
    Nice color all over.

    Once the 2 spots are gone I like it, Jake. I am not big on angling shots, but it works on this one. Nice!

    My nit is his skin......looks a bit blown...I am just not a fan of pasty white skin.......since you already said you'll
    remove the 2 bright spots...then I will not include them in my nits....

    I'm not a big fan of it either, but I wanted to try something new. I actually like this shot. :D

    Here's a shot with the exposure dialed down just a bit. I had it a stop and a half overexposed. This one is just a half of a stop. Let me know what you think of this one.

    I think I like this one a little better.

    I like the color shot better, mainly because the top and back of his head has more seperation from the background in the color shot. Some type of hair light or big time PS necessary .

    Didn't even notice that 'til you pointed it out. Thanks. One thing I love about shooting RAW is the ability to easily fix these sort of things. I appreciate your response. :]
