    Those are wonderful. The man's eyes, again, are magnetic. What a great B&W - crisp, lots of range, perfect exposure. And what beautiful, sweet skin tone on the first one. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! thumb.gif

    Great shots. You may want to clone out the multiple highlights in the eyes in the first 2 pictures, leaving the 1 main one, for a more natural look. Maybe add a main highlight in the *her right* eye of the first picture. Im not sure what, but the 4th/last one seems to be missing something.

    I like the two black and white shots best, and I will agree that the man is special indeed.

    You know I would really like the first one, if I didn't get the impression that her eyes are sore from cying or whatever. Also, the skin may be a bit pink, just MO.
    So maybe you could try it in black and white to see if anything I am mentioning plays a part. She is a cute girl.

    great shooting, Yuri!

    Very nice. The third one is exceptional. One day, I hope to capture someone that well.

    I agree the b/w shot of the man is outstanding! thumb.gif

    I personally like the pink flush in the first one. Great portraits!

    As usual,
    excellent stuff, Yuri!

    I love the colors on #1, and, agreeing with everyone else, think #3 is nothing short of superb! The man's expression, the sharpness, the nice B&W tone, they're all spot on! It's just *mint*!

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Take care!
