I like 1,6,7 , particularly like the lighting in 6 , 7 is great...

composition, DOF love the blur on the green background, good looking subject!

I find the angled shots cropped too close, might work better with less cropping

Just my opinions:D

I think these are some pretty neat shots-

might think about some fill flash-

maybe 'pop' them a little with pp-

might get a better response by posting instead of linking them-

and if you've got one that you really like and that also typifies the type of shooting you're doing right now, think about posting it on the whipping post-

you'll get some strong c&c there-

I dont know how to do a whole lot with PP yet still learning on that.

As for the fill flash i know i shoulda had some but my flash batteries were dead :cry

if you're using photoshop (and maybe even elements) go to the tutorials and look for davidto's tutes on 'popping' a photo-

I think they are good...but I would call them more candids than portraits. However I could be wrong. But I never take portraits with sunglasses on. JMHO.

Use a flash next time they are a little on the dark side.
