RMI like number one and number two.. number two made me smile.. I think I would have cropped the right side a little closer as I found the people in the back a little distracting but thats just me.. nice job:thumb

Great shots, I love 1,2,3, the half guy the back is a little distracting on 3, maybe if he was all in it would help, I dunno for sure. 4 seems a little flat to me I hope you don't mind I tried resetting the black point on it.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree the people in the background of number 2 are a bit distracting. Maybe I'll clone 'em out, I think a crop might put the subject too far to the right... That guy in the background of number 3, though, he's probably going to have to stay, annoying as he is.

James - I like your subtle change - I didn't realize the boy was so washed out in the original, but he stands out much better now. Thanks!

All I did was set the darkest pixel on his left shoulder to black.

I like all but the third shot. Lighting is great crisp but the content doesn't draw me in. My fav is the 1st one. Thanks.
