This is going to sound funny, coming from me of all people....but I would lower the opacity on your skin smoothing in the first one especially. I like your lighting in #3....it has a Tim Tadder feel to it.
I agree with Tanya on the softening in the first image, but overall, really good for a first effort. I don't care much for the light wrap that is visible in #3 but I do like the image. Great concept and execution, but I'd lower the exposure of the BG a bit to reduce the wrap.
I know, that's the first thing I'm doing when I get back after the break.. I've been soo busy it's been unreal, haven't had a chance to think about taking photos at all, it sucks. I've had 7 midterms already and 2 more when I get back.. woohoooo I'll have to grab a couple of the boys from my floor to come down and do some modeling haha. PS I liked that one of T-Bear and Will Silver too, post that one up here too
Waaaait a second.. there's a studio in the OC!!?? I was thinking of that one you told me about in the SUB
