I got a little gig to write a column for a publication, and they need a headshot. So, here are my favorites, and I'd love some comments. Try not to be too harsh :booze

    I prefer #3...but you need some type of separation betwix you and that old masters bg.......either a hair light or a bg lite come up from directly behind you......and crop square for publication.......at least every head shot i have seen sof is sq crop for pubs.........
