This was a very nice couple... I hope I did okay. It's my first time photographing an African American. It was a bit challenging because he is much lighter but I think I did alright. CC appreciated.

#3 and #4 are great, #7 & #8 are good. Again better post processing would help. Try using the channel mixer method to do your B&W conversions, and apply a vignette.

If you shoot RAW you can apply a vignette in the lens tab (I think that's right). If you shoot JPG get the select tool, set feather to (say) 300 pixels, and draw a rough circle around the main subjects. Choose selection -> Invert. Now choose levels and play with the middle slider. That's one of about a dozen ways to do vignette, and probably isn't either the easiest or the best. The way I mainly use is the lens correction filter in CS2, start than then drag one of the sliders to the left. After the vignette's done you can apply some gaussian blur if you want to.

thanks for the feedback. I'm trying some pp work now.
