Apologies Andy, I felt that the comment about your model was tactless as was mine in response to rottie's model

I took this shot a long time ago but didn't know how to edit it to make it look nice as the subjects face wasn't lit very well with the 350D's flash.



C&C welcome.

Ones of my oldest son.

This one was him playing with his iphone



This one, him contemplating ways not to return to work after his break

Curtisl, love that!

Don't think I've posted any studio shots in here yet, so here's one of my colleague Ian. Lit with a single softbox to his right.

ETA: MikeGti, has anyone ever told you that you have a passing resemblance to John Travolta?

Cheers Jimmy. It's probably the portrait I'm most happy with. Mrs C is not a fan of the camera so it's hard to get shots of her other than a sneaky candid (not that kind!).

I like your shot, nice and sharp, well lit. I am terrible around a flash so I am no guru but I would be happy with the shot if I took it

I like both, I just think that you have gone a bit far on the eyes on number one. They don't look real now

Thanks for feedback, bit stuck on the eyes as not very good with pp, so used pre set on lightroom 4. Need to get to grips with software as very weak in that area. Any recommendations welcome.
