The third one of the man is a great portrait.

Those are wonderful. The man's eyes, again, are magnetic. What a great B&W - crisp, lots of range, perfect exposure. And what beautiful, sweet skin tone on the first one. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! :thumb

Great shots. You may want to clone out the multiple highlights in the eyes in the first 2 pictures, leaving the 1 main one, for a more natural look. Maybe add a main highlight in the *her right* eye of the first picture. Im not sure what, but the 4th/last one seems to be missing something.

I like the two black and white shots best, and I will agree that the man is special indeed.

You know I would really like the first one, if I didn't get the impression that her eyes are sore from cying or whatever. Also, the skin may be a bit pink, just MO.
So maybe you could try it in black and white to see if anything I am mentioning plays a part. She is a cute girl.

great shooting, Yuri!

Yuri: you have a remarkable talent with portraits. I must agree with Andy and Labs - the gentleman's image is fantastic! great job! :thumb

[Khaos]

Very nice. The third one is exceptional. One day, I hope to capture someone that well.

[Cosmic]

I agree the b/w shot of the man is outstanding! :thumb

I personally like the pink flush in the first one. Great portraits!

excellent stuff, Yuri!

I love the colors on #1, and, agreeing with everyone else, think #3 is nothing short of superb! The man's expression, the sharpness, the nice B&W tone, they're all spot on! It's just *mint*!

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!
