Somebody needs to tell Mr. Shades that Spiderman does not wear a skirt. Sheesh. And shave your legs, Wilma!! hehehe I can't help myself ... too many Scottish and Irish friends that I love saying stuff like that too. :) I think the first one can be really good if you correct it. Bring the shaded part up a bit while maintaining the strong highlight area so it doesn't blow out. Hmmm...I think #3 needs the guy put into context. Is he doing highland games? Would be great if you could have got him in motion. Glad to see you're shooting more strangers. Going back to the first one, she has a lot of character in her face. I like her. I probably would have snapped off 5 or 6 of her from different angles while she worked. Especially with the non-distracting background she's in front of. Can't wait to see your film shots. -=>Donald
