They look pretty good but I'm not sure I like the shadows on the wall behind.

It's looks almost like a messed up double exposure ghost image. Especially with the light pointed up and the shadows up higher on the wall.

first thanks ya'll 8:

ohh I forgot to say, DON'T NOTICE THE SHADOWS
I know they ain't right, it was just a try (usually I use high-key to shoot portraits).

Wow...nice...how did you get it to look so...professional!?

 

[Jamie R]

It's a great start - well done Santino.

Are they related?

 

[Artemis]

...ehem...its santino, and his dad

 

[Karalee]

Hey santino, your dad looks like hes a real character. Keep em coming.

 

[Walt]

Your Dad looks like he's thinking "Just taked the damned shot already" Am I close?

 

[AIRIC]

Good stuff. It looks like your father is thinking "This is what I get for getting him a camera"

Cheers,

Eric

Santino, see if you can submit your dad's pic to this months contest! Great shots! :thumbsup:

They are very good shots. The shadows have been mentioned, but I actually like and use shadows a great deal. If done correctly the can be a great asset to a photo. Have a look at some of Alfred Steiglitz's photos and use of shadows in portraits.

To my eye what seems to be missing in both is a more expanded grey scale. You have great white's and blacks but the middle ground to get from one to the other seems to be lacking. IMO.

I like the style Santino. :thumbsup:

But I'm not comfortable with the shadows.
