#1 is very classic and always a good choice.

I don't really care for #2 since they are not looking at the camera and the lighting is so dim.

I really like the background of #3, how did you do that?

#4 &5 are ok but again not my tast.

They look very good to me! On par with any album inserts I've seen... good job!

I do agree about #2, though... not particularly to my taste.

I really like the background of #3, how did you do that?

With great difficulty, lol.
I basically merged a few different landscape shots, andwith a great deal of patience cut out the band and placed them on top. i had to layer them up a few times though using the linear dodge(i believe) blend mode in ps asthe orginal photo was afair bit duller and had really uneven lighting.

No. 2 is probs my least favourite of the lot as well although there is something about it I like. Maybe it will be better when i photoshop it.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

interesting shots. I like them. The last one is cool.

I'm jealous! I never get to pose my subjects! Hell, I can't even talk to them. I like the first and last. Please keep sharing your stuff here.

I think they are all excellent, but number four is my favorite. The composition in the last one is cool. You did a nice job of avoiding a standard line up type portrait in these; I think that's what I like the most about 4.

First one is cool.. classic.. nicely done.
Last one is the best, in my most humble opinion.
(did a lot of bands years ago...)
