Just don't ask him "how's the wife and kid?" if you know what's good for ya.

:D

Anyways, yeah I like #1. Could have used a bit more of a hair light (just a touch). How big is this guy? The photos make him look huge since there's no sense of scale (which actually makes it look better than if you had him standing on a quarter or something). He might look really cool from a very low angle like he's standing on the ledge of a building looking for bad guys to kill.

thanks, I was actually trying to tone down the hair cuz it was reflecting so much off the light.I like your idea about shooting from a lower angle. Oh and they are 6in tall.

Holy crap, these things are $30 each??? Wow dude, you've got a 70-200f/2.8L IS worth of toys. :)

Honestly, I think you should pick a rainy weekend or something and take unique photos of all of 'em. Nothing better than combining two hobbies. :D
