A couple results of a boring evening:

1)

I thought I would try out a weird colour..

2)

I did want this one blown out.. I actually got it printed and framed and I really like the way it came out... There's a few nitpicks I have with it, but I'd like to see what other folks think..

    I think i like last one the best. 1st one looks kind of dark and flat. 2nd not too bad, but 3rd is more appealing.

    Not a fan of the first but I like the second and third. Perhaps the third more
    than the second.

    The eyes could use a bit more sharpness and maybe a touch of color. The
    bar also looks very flat. Maybe add a bit of silver?

    i like them
    i like 2 and 3 the best..just cause i've recently tried shooting like this.
    and it erases any freckles/blemishes/etc in the skin.

    nothing wrong with freckles/blemishes/etc...we're all human.
    but i like the effect in 2 and 3

    the eyes in *all* of htese images are amazing.
    what did you do to them?

    overall...the 3rd one is my favorite..i like the crop.
    and the eye, of course...powerful..staring straight at you

    Definitely some "pop" to the eyes, although I wouldn't recognize it until you mentioned, but the effect was still there. So I guess you could say it was a good job and effective. :D

    Really sharp shots but the reflection of your strobe in the eyes is sometimes a little distracting/un-aesthetic (how's that for nit-picky!?)

    Cool shots.

    thanks for the replies folks; regarding the reflection of the light in his eyes were hard to get rid of.. it was a five foot wide octobox lol, so the reflection is hideous.. i know! it seems unanimous (spelling??)- the first one, only fifteen year old boys like it (aka: my brother!) oh well what does he know! lol
    Once again, thanks!

    I'll try the sharpening.. also some colour.. not a huge fan of the (more-or-less) selective colouring... but we'll see.. and i don't know how to add silver *blush*. I'm brand new at this whole photoshop thing, and there's very VERY little i know how to do! thanks for the suggestions!
