The second picture to me really makes me look into his eyes and makes it seem like he has a very interesting story (life). I don't know if that makes sense, but I really like this picture. It's very real to me.

The other two are nice too. I like the innocence of the first picture. And your third pictures subject is very beautiful.

Great shots :thumb

I like 'em all too. The two ladies look very comfortable in front of the lens. Keep on posting.

i think my #1 skill as a portrait photographer (i never feel comfortable calling myself a "photographer") is the process i go through to get my subjects to look natural.

regardless of what i am shooting, i want the viewer to forget about the camera. i want the viewer to be there. that's my goal.

#2 is excellent - It has a great "feel".
