Portrait

I waited until today, the day before class, to work on my assignment. I had thought of using Jonathan but he and I don't do well together yet with pictures. I kinda had an idea what I wanted to do. I didn't want a typical photo and it involved Greg. Started out this morning with this shot.
And then this one. But the eyes just didn't seem as in focus as I wanted on either of them.
I really wanted to wait until the evening light. And of course, that came earlier tonight than usual because of the time change. Put the camera on the tripod and got some more shots. My model offered to shave but we were losing light fast.I played with this shot in Photoshop to get the silhouette look. I like it.
But this is my favorite shot of the day. I will submit this one for my class and see what the teacher thinks.
My model did a bit of complaining about how hard a job it was. But later tonight, to stop the whining, I warmed him up the last serving of apple dessert and topped it with vanilla ice cream..... :)

Dessert and ice cream always shuts them up!

I see what you mean by the focus in the first one, but that is still my favorite. I just really like the angle of it.

I like them all. Good job!
