pretty much unedited.

The pic isnt as sharp as I'd liked, but improving on that and the shots just happened too fast and didnt get my setting right..

I like the use of tones to bring out character of your subjects (particularly the guy). I do think that a little more light in the back to give a bit more separation of his hair to the background would have been nice.

Thanks for the comments =)

I agree about the hair light, I tried a bunch of shots with and without. The old vivitar flashes I use don't have a whole lot of choices for power output. Even on the lowest setting and with a 1 stop ND gel I was getting a little too much light. So I gave up and turned it off. I sometimes prefer the look of just one light anyways, depends on my mood haha.

Next time try adding a white board or cloth in the back to reflect back some of the main light. Should give you the separation you need with out it showing too much.

I know her hand is missing, I don't know if it bothers me
I looked at it too long, now I can't decide

What lens?

The bokeh is pretty harsh. Which lens did you use?

85 1.8 on 30D

not so much a portrait but i hope it counts!

I like this one best of the two: I find on the first one, her face is to centered in the photo...and of course she has a beautiful smile, which this one brings out.
That being said, I think the sepia colour suits the first one more. Nice portraits.

^much better expression of the two, but the light hitting under her eyes isn't doing her any favors. I slight movement of the main light would really soften her under eyes and flatter her more

^ Cool thanks for that Kyle

They hate sitting on grass...
