Beautiful people, and great shots. But, suggestion...on #1, could you crop less on the right side where the books are, and just a tiny bit more on the left side where the capt. is sitting. It might balance off the picture just a little more.

Nice shots. A little PP on the 4th to remove the glaring TV screen????

On the first picture, for my part the crop is perfect, pictures of people tell a story, or at least they should. This tells what is important to the occupant. If you were entering into the space you would see that the books, and the items on the wall would be the first things your eyes would see. These are items of great importance to the owner of the space, and relay their life story to the guest. The position of the man is such that he allows you to view all he treasures, his body does not block the view of those displayed items. I think all these pictures are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for feedback, it's much appreciated.

It probably sounds conceited, but I agree with you about the crop.

I also liked the fact that he wasn't looking into the lens - in fact I purposely snapped the photo when he wasn't looking!

I've also got a weakness for sepia, especially when I want to date the photo a bit.

Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed it until I read your comment, but I have to admit that you're right.
