I have been playing around with this one and hoping UHH's can tell me if I'm on the right track. Portraits are not really my forte.

I love it! cracks me up, I surely like the high-key approach. Methinks that both good and evil are giving Dude "the look".

If you like it print it oz. For me it is too high key and I'd like the back ground sharp.

Thanks for having a look Frank. I was going for the china doll effect and seeing this beautiful young girl is the portrait subject I wanted the graffiti background out of focus. I know it wont be for everyone's taste but like I said I'm not that familiar with portrait shots.

Its not strictly portrait but more street photography. In color there is probably a bit too much going on. Convert to BW taking down some of the high key effect in the young ladies face and skin. Head over to Street and Architecture, mention my name to gain access to the VIP area, and post it there. You will be hailed as the new Messiah of all things "street". Ya got the right hair and beard!
Seriously the street guys will love this I reckon. Street suffers from limited appeal on this hallowed turf.

This has a lot going for it. Good composition for one, great tonality in the high key approach. The juxtaposition really works in this one. I also like the expression on the girl's face.
