Portraits C&C

[Markw]

I always took portraits at f/3.3 and extremely close, so I figured Id try and open the aperture up and I think the outcome was good. Tell me what you think.

imho 2 is by far the best of the series followed by the first. the last two don't show much. when doing portraits try to get eyes either closed or open, in between is not ok unless it is for a reason. in the last one the eyes are opened but the eyes don't pop. the most important aspect of a portrait are the eyes, make them pop up! the last two also have distracting backgrounds. use the telephoto i see you have and get further from the subject. also get the subject further away from the background to get it more blured.
