After reviewing almost every portrait I've taken, I decided that the following photos are probably the best I've done recently.


<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]I think the first one is just about perfect, just wish I would've shot at f/2.8 to get more in focus<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"], but I still think they're pretty damn nice.<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"] I also noticed they look a bit over exposed/too bright, but I think it kinda looks nice. But all-in-all I like these the best out of my collection. Straying away from my tendency's to mess with contrast, I actually like them better as they are now.


*The feedback just from the first reply made me realize I did over do it on the post processing, so I decided to run them through again but this time I layed off from messing with the contrast and blacks in selective color. I even decided to throw in a bunch more photos*
