Hi Andy,
to me, out of the three, I feel this is the one which has let you down slightly. It is still a nice pic, but not to the quality of the other two. The model looks bored, with a "I've had enough expression". The lighting is not up o the standard of the previous, being slightly blown out on the left and causing unflattering shading on the right of the nose (Giving the impression of a larger nose) The drop off of focus also appears to be slightly out, showing the eye on the left of the image slightly more out of focus than that on the right. Perhaps a lot of this is due to a low res upload, and I am not able to experience the true quality. But, to me this one is slightly sub-standard compared to the others. Sorry mate.

thanks Phil, good feedback, it is important to get the negative feedback to sharpen up next time. It was quite a low res upload so yes the focus looks off but the original is fine, will watch that in future. point taken on the lighting. Most of my day to day stuff is high key which is why I put these three up as I needed some feedback on my low key stuff which I don't do so much of so this is all good for me, cheers bud!

Mate i'm not going to comment on these apart from that they are all to a very high standard and fabulous. This one by contrast to Phil (amazing how taste varies!) is my fav..don't ask me why. Maybe its something as simple I find her better looking than the others (how shallow is that!!!?)

I'm not going into the details of technical imperfection because they are minimal to say the least. I will agree with Phils comments but the pics are to such a high standard, thats as far as I am going to go.

Inspirational work...all three pics. Now if you could just jot down their phone numbers for me

expo doesnt look too bad on this i thought, the expression is solemn, maybe that could have been made better by darkening the light on the RHS to create a more moody effect. i think Phil and i are viewing at different brightness/contrast settings on our monitors as i dont see the shadow....I felt the framing was good on this one

Andy I think that your Portrait is fabulous. And I haven't seen the other two, but I would like to.
Now I do agree with Philon the eye.
But the rest I love it.

Cheers,
