B&W Portraits- C&C please

[HalfInsane]

So, I'm really inept with the whole portrait photography/Photoshopping. However, I thought these shots turned out okay. Just me and my two younger sisters (the only people I could coax into sitting still, haha).

Comment and critique please (ignoring my messy hair/fact we're wearing hoodies however. I know they're not exactly ideal wardrobe choices lol):








This one is really just a goofy picture of my youngest sister, but it made me laugh and I actually kinda like it:

Derrel called a photo of mine "workmanlike" and I had to look it up to see what it meant. That's what I think of when I look at #2.

#3 is unique.. it has an interesting depth of field and I like the lighting.

#1's my favorite.. but the crop/framing doesn't work. A closer crop and cutting off the right side of the frame (allowing her hair to frame the photo as well as her face) gives more impact. Here's what I mean:

That does look way better, thanks! And it hides just how messed up my hair was that day haha.

And thanks all for the comments =]

Nice job on the B&W work... I really like all of these, particularly #3!

#1 and #3 are great! i agree with reznap on #2.
i really like the crop performed by reznap as well.

:thumbup: Good work on all 3 but like everyone else, #3 is my favorite too. You are lucky to have sisters who pose for you.
