Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread v2.0

hi guys, I'd like some comments on these, I've changed my skin processing method and as a result gone back and re-did some images from a BCG Fort Lytton shoot. I'm happy about no1 but not as sure about no2.

No.1

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a bargain-basement laptop and I'm looking for advice from anyone who's into that sort of thing.. I do desktops, not laptops

Looking for it to run Mozilla Firefox, Windows Media Player for DVDs, Itunes for music and Word. That's it. Not even all of them at once all of the time.

However... it can't run slow as a dog. I use a top end desktop (couple of years old now but it still runs real well) and I don't want something that's going to frustrate me.

I'm looking at:

Toshiba (it said A200 vo1 but when googling that it comes up with a much higher specced machine.. I'm guessing because this is an older model)
1.73ghz Pentium D processor
512mb ram (I can chuck more in from the computer fairs if it's too slow)
80gb hdd (eh, this will be way enough)
DVD +/- RW
15.4" screen

It's about $700. From what I can tell it sounds alright for what I want and after having a brief play in JB it seems to run quick enough for what I want - has anybody got any input?

poke ..... poke ..... any more comments one my shots above, and now below

I missed the eye contact on these, my excuse is that when you are shooting side by side with 4 other people it becomes hard to get eye contact.
No.3

Hey, I really like No. 3 there Greg..

#1 is the best for me greg.

there are parts of the other 3 which look a bit soft.... not sure if it's because of the mask used or what... hair line in #3 and #4.
