Hi Andy You have beautiful grandchildren . I'm not a portrait shooter but IMO all images are very nice. I think the softness in #1 and #4 comes from your PP work but I like it.

[Andybazyoung]

Thank you Binnur, I don't shoot portraits either but I thought I would start with these.

Very nice series, Andy, the black and white works well with these. My favorite is number three; I like the rather large black space. If this is your starting point for portraits you are off to a great start.

Thanks Dean, your comment is greatly appreciated.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Well done, Andy! Cute kids, and nice black and white conversions. The only thing I would change would be using a dark (rather than light) vignette on #2, as I feel like it would draw the viewer's attention towards (rather than away from) your grandson's face. But that's just a personal opinion! If you hadn't admitted that you don't typically shoot portraits, you would've fooled me. Thanks for sharing!

[Andybazyoung]

Thank you Kristy. I will look again at the vignette settings

Nice series.

My Grandchildren are just great.......

Yes, they are. And so are the pictures.

Lots of personality coming through. Well done.

Very nice group however, number three is just super! I like everything about it, the off center crop and especially the placement of the glasses and her expression!

I'm not a big fan of hair hiding the eyes in a portrait but #3 does have an artistic feel to it that just works! Nice job and I agree, there seems to be quite allot of personality captured in your frames. I think you'll happily have your hands full for some time to come!

Nice job on the photos, great job on the grand children!

Yes... all great, but purely as an image, an example of great portraiture, the third is a real zinger. Love how you placed her and how you treated the background.

They are great images, taken with love & personality obviously shining through.
Terrific.

Ha ha, David thanks for your comment & yes, she is already a bit too clever!! Nice though....
