Portraits

I posted a portrait of one of my godsons here about a day ago, but for the life of me I cannot find it, which makes me think I did something wrong in the process of trying to post it. I decided this morning that I want to post a bunch of different portraits, so here is the godson portrait, taken while he and his lady and I were eating ice cream at an ice cream parlor.:

Here are three more, these from a larger collection I have called "The War."
This wasn't part of the plan for the photo shoot that we had when we set out. However, Lawrence had this wonderful sweater and as soon as he put it on I had the idea that this would fit into a larger series I have been working on for several years. As I look at these now, I can see that they should have a little more contrast. But anyway, here you can see the idea (or at least part of it).

Your pictures are well done however I find in the last picture of the young woman in the very colorful head/body wrap, this bright color garment pulls my eyes from her face. I may have processed more of a head shot and perhaps toned down/replaced the color with a more neutral shade as you did in the first group of pictures.....just my thoughts

As I was posting that photo I thought that perhaps I should tone down the saturation. I think you are absolutely right.

Very nice work. It is refreshing to open a thread and see quality images for a change. The last post I opened was by somebody who uses a top of the line camera but doesn't know why a wider f-stop would work better in lower light.

I think that her face is so compelling that I hardly noticed the shawl or whatever it is. What a beauty!

She is unquestionably the most beautiful model I have ever photographed. I did a second shoot with her and she was wearing a white shawl. I must hunt for those pics and put them up here, too.
