Formal B&W Portraits

Been playing around with studio lighting for a couple of weeks now and the dogs are the only ones that are willing to sit and have their picture taken. Constructive C&C is welcome and please feel free to add your own B&W portrait to the thread.

I really like them. .. especially the second one. The overhead 'directional' light seems to work better on the second shot. .. almost ethereal.
Beautiful shots!

Thank you, I printed the second one out as a 12X18 metallic and I was really happy with the results.
