C&C wildly appreciated.

5D, 70-200 /2.8 L IS for the first two, 24-105 /4 L IS for the last, I think.

Okay, the first one does set of my "ACR Blues" alarm ;)

Apart from that: I like #1 (crop off the bit of arm on the right) and 2 (not 100% sure about the expression though).
#3 is too cluttered IMO, and needs a bit of straightening.

Thanks for the feedback, René.

Okay, the first one does set of my "ACR Blues" alarm ;)

I'm new here, though, so you'll have to clue me in on said alarm.

Appreciate it....

Blue tones that go "solid". Commonly seen when ACR or LR is used.
Easy solution: Use the "Camera Calibration" tab in LR 2.0 or ACR 4.6, and choose a "Camera Neutral" profile there.

Ari, Welcome. Please note that given the chance, Rene will flog you into getting better images! He has single handedly forced me from jpegs to RAW, color management and monitor calibration, and most recently using camera profiles in Lightroom. And I'm old and don't like to change my ways! But I have personally experienced the damage that ACR and LR can do to high saturation blues and have been hit with his Blue Alarm several times. And just when you think it's safe to come out, you'll get the Magenta Alarm! :-)

Ah hah, then. And thanks for the welcome, Dwight. I loved being pushed to try new things and improve my process, so the forums are potentially thrilling.

That said, I don't have the option on my ACR of anything other than 3.3. Can I load a "camera neutral" profile from somewhere else?

Thanks to you both.

Camera profiles need a newer ACR. You can try this method however: Link (http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/acr-color-match/)
