The first one is very interesting. There's a lot of grain, which made me think it was film at first (or maybe it is). Very neat old holywood feel to it, and I love the sense of motion, although there is almost nothing in the shot illuminated except for her. Very nice concept for that photo.

#2 I'm not a huge fan of. Nothing horribly wrong, they just seem a little stiff looking. Maybe because they are standing perfectly upright, which puts their heads kind of far apart? Seems very much like a formal portrait (although maybe that's what the look they wanted).

#3 I really like the PP, which works with the old-timey feel that all of these shots have, and I think the lens flare from the light works really well too. My only problem is that the large bushy head really dominates the shot. However, I have no idea how to work around that problem because I understand and like the composition of everything else in the shot.

Very nice set.

thanks, yes #2 she saw the first shot where i had them leaning towards each other, but she said it looked like they were slouching... so she told him to stand straight.. lol
#1 was digital, but yes grain was added to aid in the old effect.


thanks for checking them out
