1. I'm a sucker for lines. This would be more abstract and more interesting (in my "opinion") if you cropped it so that all you could see are the lines of the shorter things (I'm assuming they are those yellow concrete pole things?) and the metal supports of what looks like scaffolding to me...

2. Looks more like a snapshot to me. The DOF kinda bothers me and on his right arm (camera left) it looks like you tried to do some skin smoothing or something? There's a bright red oval that goes from the tips of his fingers up to his elbow.

3. I think this is my favorite. It's more like the lesser evil I guess? She looks like she is yelling at you for waking her up... Like a "How dare you wake me up with that thing! I was cuddling with daddy!"...

The first image seemed much sharper before uploading. But yes the second was first time shooting anything at f1.4 and the third's focus is just behind her eyes on her hair. I liked it though because both eyes were equally out of focus, lol. The DOF is so thin with this lens wide open I've been missing alot of shots. Give me a day or two and I'll be stopping down just gotta get it out of my system, lol.

@jeffielove- I'll try that crop tonight when I'm off work thanks for the advice. Those are steel barriers to protect the racking system. All three are snapshots as are all my images as of now. Only PP that was done was slight contrast and sharpening via View NX2.
