I'll be second. What do you think of these?
I like the third image, as it is a true candid where subject was not aware of photo. It is a good character study. Maybe keep proportions, but crop a bit tighter to eliminate distracting words on shirt?

I really like #2, it's simple yet nicely done. I wish there was some light in his eyes but it looks like he is wearing tinted lens and of course that keeps the light out.
#1 - the booger is bugging me. I want to wipe it off (It's the Mum in me, sorry). It's a cute halloween shot.
#3 - it's a nice candid. Focus is good. #2 just edges it out somehow for me.

Thanks for the comment about the words on the shirt. Photographers are supposed to "see" stuff like that. To tell you the truth, I didn't even see them while taking the picture or in PP. I guess I'll have to keep taking snap shots until I'm able to see like a photographer.

I really do like the third shot. I agree with Nikonian72 in that you might consider a little tighter crop but even as it is it is a great shot. Congrats!
Thanks WMAC and Pepper for your kind remarks.
Number 3 - is a really nice image! However I do agree the writing should have been cropped or Photoshopped out.
Number 2 - I like but wish the hands were not covering his mouth and face area - pic shows he was in deep thought (that I like).
Number 1 - Although he is as cute as a button, the runny nose really pops out at me!

#1 suffers from the flash. Harsh shadow behind, face seems overexposed. What did you do to startle him?
I like t#2 you captured character in it. Too bad, as noted, the eyes come across a bit dull.
#3 is also excellent. The lettering doesn't bother me so much, and if you crop them out, you also lose the chain and pendant.

If you crop out her chest that will take away from the whole photo. I don't think the words are distracting, myself. I'm looking at the women and her necklace, if you crop out the words her necklace will be cut off. You might can clone out the words.
I may be wrong Pepper but I believe #3 is a man & I tend to agree with you on that photo that the words are part of the story. I wonder what impact would it have had without them? Photo opt the letters & keep the chain. But I like #2 & #3 with notations already made.

Yes, there's space above #2's head, but the arch in the ceiling is lined up with him, it actually draws you in the same direction that he's looking. I think it's kind of subtle this way.

Doesn't do much for the current cropping to his shoulders. Maybe a different angle on a reshoot, if a reshoot is even possible.
It would be hard to take another shot of Hugh since he is in london and i'm in Philadelphia. However, here's another pic of him. which do you like best?
