If they are head shots, shouldn't the whole head be there?

Really like the second one in the set.

I think you did a great job on them, just #1 would have been alot better with out the chopped head, don't get me wrong, I am still learning and do stuff like that myself.

Thanks everyone. Some of the post that I have seen on here from other people, had me a little nervous that I wouldn't have gotten any honest criticism I have seen some horrible pictures and people say great things about them. I will take all of this and move forward with it.

The key light is too high causing his brow to stand out and look like Frankenstein, crop too tight for head shots other then that their OK.

I like these, the only nit that I have is the B&W conversion seems to be overcooked on 3rd one (far right). The face almost has the appearance that it was shopped onto the body.

Jeremy, I have to admit I didn't know who Peter Hurley was till I just googled him, I see what you are saying, guess I am just so used to people saying to me "Looks nice but you chopped off part of the head".

Don't like the lighting in 1 and 3, but 2 is good.

Love 2. 1 is good. 3, I don't like the forhead taking the entire corner, and at the angle it is. But that's totally a matter of opinion. If the customer likes it, that's all that matters. Nice work over-all! :)
