That great "Yuri" light. Those wonderful "Yuri" eyes.

Great portraits.

Unfortunately, the concrete wall has too similar texture and tone to the fleshtones and interferes when allowed to intersect the face (very much IMHO). I don't mind the wall at all for shots like #2, where the wall is used as a prop, but the last image, #5, is just not pleasurable.

Thanks,

Yuri, very good portraits, in my book 1, 3 and 4 have the right ballance of composition and expression. There is something in the process of the last photo that makes her skin look frozen, as if it was middle of winter not summer.
