Hello fellow shoters
Here are a few pix from my first (semi)serious attempt at portraits.
I followed some good guidlines from stickies about post processing and here is the outcome:

[THE TOUCH]

Love the 2nd and the last pic - amazing. There's a lot of emotion in both of them and the lighting is stellar. I'm not much on sepia so no comment there.

Thank you guys.
The girls acted a bit silly most of the time so it was difficult to get a "decent" shot :):

I like the conversion on the first, love the second and last ones! Nice job!

I agree with above comments w/repect to #2 and the last one.

RE #3 and #4, I'm thinking a little fill flash would have improved these quite a bit.
