I really like the first one ...i think the angle is good and the lighting is nice...the second one is a bit bright on your face for me...and the last one i would prefer to see the lips as well...but thats just my opinion...there is something about the first one in the eyes, that wins it for me.

Yes I think I prefer your first portrait shot too - think the contrast there is great for your eyes. Lovely sunset colors too!

I actually like the cropped in look of your eyes - you could do a sharpen with a mask to really make them pop.

Very nice long exposure - going to have to try that. The colors are amazing!

Cool shots, Vance. I like the 3rd....how it's drawing attention to your right eye. That's a good shot...if you were a musician, that could be your album cover! TFS
