Christmas Portraits

Just some quick captures. This was unplanned. Used my Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and SB600 mounted on camera.

C&C welcome.

I also wanted to get an opinion on these. Just some effects I have been playing with. This is extensive post-processing and I am not sure how they would look printed.

That brings up a question I have. How do you know when you have photochopped too much to produce a quality print? Trial and error?

7. Sort of a Dave Hill look..

The eyes look like they've had some strange processing done to them in the first few pictures. What'd you enhance them with?

I like the second picture, the rest of them need more light, can you increase the exposures in your software.
The processing on these is not very good. I would try again.
