A very enjoyable set. Well done, Lorey.

[mbrager]

Interesting photos. I found the portraits of subjects looking directly at the camera, especially the seventh photo in the first set and the fourth photo in the second set, intriguing. What might they be thinking? What is behind the eyes? Very nice shots.

[Runmonty]

I enjoyed this set too. Some very nice portraits you have there. You handled the shadows under their hats very well too.

[Lorey]

Thanks to all for the kind comments. They are appreciated!

[Marko]

Yeah I'm digging these sets as well. My faves are more of the portraits close-up. - Nun shot very cool w/the doll.

[Lorey]

I appreciate your time to look and comment Marko. Thank you.

[Iguanasan]

What a really cool set, Lorey. The ones that really capture my attention are the ones with the close up portraits and an engaged subject (ie. they're looking right at ya!). Nice work. :thumbup:

[Lorey]

Thanks Iggy.. appreciate the compliments.
