    Tom, Sam and Owen - are wonderful 'models' :-)
    And you've made very good photos. Maybe two things, if you don't mind, I'd recommend you:
    1. As you can see, more 'appropriate' background is needed.
    2. Try to set your camera to full zoom (not digital) and make your composition/frame 'by feet' - stepping closer/farther.
    As (maybe) you know, I don't like flash - so try to take out them outdoors, with natural light, choose the place with far away backgroung, set F to max open (for blured background in DOF), zoom to maz and...
    Sorry for such a lesson, not sure I'm the one to give it to you. Waiting for your portraits,
    Yuri

    I pretty much agree with Yuri, but sometimes you gotta have a flash. When you do try to learn to defuse it somehow, etither by bouncing or putting something over it. If it's a fancy off camera flash, you probably can swivel it somehow to bounce it. If it's a built in flash, try making something out of white paper and cardboard and scotch tape. I've used this former technique with great success on P&S cameras. An amazing amount of light escapes even through a piece of index card. But you can also leave the top open to bounce off the ceiling.
