all you have to do is click the bottom of the 2 links

i didnt know html didnt work in the thread, but when you click that link the picture will pop up in a new window
sorry for any misconvienience
 
html code doesn't work in this type of environment, you need to use tags [ ] [/] etc.

fix'd

edit:... oh damn... this forum doesnt have the code tag? :/
 
I like the reflections in the 3rd picture, but... The light is all over the place, which is bad..
 
Yikes. HDRs with people. Interesting idea. The one I like the best, however... (2nd to last) could have been done totally without HDR.

I also don't much like the major distortion and such in the images. Just not my cup of tea for portraiture. Overall I consider the treatment and distortion and whatnot to be severely distracting from the people in the image... to me that defeats the purpose of a portrait.

Im doing it not necesarilly for the portraits sake, but for my own artistic twist on them. And the 2nd to last one, the wall in which i used for a backdrop was actually quite plain and not very vibrant. the hdr brought that one to life

Which also could be done via saturation and other basic photoshop-style post-processing methods.
