    All are very nice and the last one in the tree is quite good. The bg is not back lit too much. I like the head-turn and the eye contact. Great detail and saturation of color in all of them.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
