A very strong set, they are all quite good. My first impression was that they are mostly a little on the bright side, especially looking at the skin tones....but that seams to be your style so I won't say it's wrong.

agreed, I think this is a very strong set. I think the skin smoothing is a little strong for my tastes, most noticeable in 3 but also obvious in 1,2,3,8,9,10

Very nice overall though.

Thank guys. I only really over do the skin with the seniors (young peeps). They LOVE the smooth look.

What did you use for editing? It looks like HDR, Nice work.

Got the HDR look from lightroom. Just takes some minor editing in photoshop to blend in some of the ruff spots but it can be done with one image and get great results. Very subtle HRD look to senior portraits seems to sit them off to me
