    Nick, as others have said---nice set. I agree with steve regarding a little more "grit" in the B&W. Also, in the first image of the redhead girl, there seems to be some kind of blue shadowing around her head shoulder and legs, like maybe you cloned something out or some other processing issue, not really sure, but definitely noticable on my monitor. Does anyone else see this, or do I need to go shopping again?

    FYI, for all of you interested in portraiture. Here is a short (1 hr and 53 minute) tutorial by Joel Grimes who does a lot of those gritty, contrasty and dramatic portraits of atheletes, musicians etc---plus he does a bunch of other stuff. He also has some other good video's on youtube and some detailed tutorials for sale on his website. ALthough he does portraits, there is a lot of good info to be had when watching his videos.

    In the first one, there is some gray around the feet, head, and little strip between her behind and the left edge of the frame. It looks like artifacts left from processing. The top one screams for a little vignetting. Other than that, I think you did a great job on these (#2 & 3 are my favorites).
