In most a shadow covers the eyes which I don't like. In all but the last one it seems that the model is desperately trying to not look into the camera. It just looks too stiff and posed.

I do like the one on the bike.

Yes, bit stiff & posed for my taste too, although I like the variation of angles. I also would like a little more light on the face, especially the eyes, but I really happen to like #4 on the bike. Nice, creative idea there.

They're all technically very good, although the model does not necessrily appear comfortable with what he's doing. I don't really know how best to describe it.

Also, forgive me for this, but I had to look at #6 a couple times to make sure those weren't his pants down around his ankles (in which case he would be doing something that probably shouldn't be photographed :lol: ). It's just a distraction to the eye, and once I reconciled it in my brain, it was okay.

Belmondo's mind is in the gutter..... :) I didn't even consider that until you pointed it out. ;)

You're proabably right about that, and I really considered not saying anything. I'm really not trying to be funny or crude. That's just how it struck me. :oops: :oops:

Actually, I had to look twice to be sure as well.

I like the basketball picture. The contrast between boots, basketball, bicycle in the background. There's a statement in that. Not sure exactly what the statement is, but I like the composition.

These are great shots. I love the composition and the choice of high contrast colour, giving them a stark impactful quality.

I'd love to do this kind of portrait/fashion stuff, for years I was really inhibited about shooting people, possibly because almost everyone I tried to photograph during my childhood was a cameraphobe..

lol u dirty minded ppl :roll:

so for most of u guys didnt like the dark eyes. how would i remedy that? a reflector? but wouldnt that look unatural since there should be shade from the hat etc etc then the face is all lit up?

thnx for all ur comments

...a little fill flash is all it would take... not enough to Light UP the face, just enough to lighten those shadows. ...or a reflector. I actually just got 5 new reflectors that I am hoping to play with tomorrow for the first time.
