#3 is absolutely stunning! The BW works so well and gives the portrait so much character...TFS!

Green eyed girls eyes are a little too much saturated. The other images are fantastic!

I like that second and third shot especially. Nice set. Were they all aware you were shooting them? (well, I could tell the girl was). What type of lens did you use?

Thanks folks for all the comments. Barbara, none of them knew I was shooting them, but the girl might have had an inkling. She was looking lovingly at her boyfriend and I sneaked the shot. She had noticed me in the vicinity. I used a 50mm 1.8 for that and cropped it down a lot just to keep her face. The other 3 were taken at a distance using the Tamron 18-270mm at 270mm.

Nice set. You can see in their faces they are having a hard time.
