Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Headshots - Please C&C!!
I did the photos. ended up using my SB800 off camera with pocket wizards while I held it just above the lens with LSPJII with no dome attached.
I am not sure if these are bright enough, and I can't seem to get the White Balance right. I have 2 edits, I think the 2nd edits are better (on the left) In hind sight, I should have used a seat so I could of gotten the Angle and framing uniform. //EDIT: as per Oz's Suggestion, I removed the cooler photos and added cropped photos  
 
REST: http://lauriestreet.smugmug.com/gallery/3336917 THANKS!!! Last edited by Laurie on Fri Aug 31, 2007 10:29 pm, edited 1 time in total.
The L/H side edits are better, but the left shoulder on the subjct looks huge. You may want to consider a cropping of more of the L/H shoulder which will still leave the club badge showing.
Cheers Tony All I know, is that I don't know enough.....
on my monitor, left edits are warmer, and look good.
I dont like the framing. suggest crop, keeping left side, crop top, right, and bottom until the eyes are more central to the image. can you try that and repost?
actually, before you crop, perhaps consider resizing until they are the same size subjects.
Oz,
I did the cropping (as near as what you suggested as i could) and i think they are much better, even with the cropped off shoulder I have removed the first batch, the 'cooler' edits and put the new crops up in the original post. Thanks Oz!! 
I imagine these are going to be hung on a wall side by side. are the heads the same size (or at least in the proportions of real life differences). perhaps mount them side by side in here, and compare. from the first images, the second chap's head would have appeared much smaller (but note, some cultures actually use this to show corporate seniority!)
