and another. My wife is getting the biggest kick out of these and wants people to see them so it's easiest to post here and email 1 link.

I love the dof here in these last few ... from mike to ears there's great focus. Colour all looks spot on to me as well.
My only critique would be that you are simulating a singer on stage (Man I hope you are only simulating and not putting that poor lady through hell!!

) so I think the lighting should also simulate that. The bricks suggest a little nightclub wall somewhere deep in the city so maybe some subdued lighting with a spotlight or something like that might enhance the mood and strength of the image. Depends on the realism you are going for I guess.

This second set is way cool!

You're not exactly "Ol' Blue Eyes", but I gotta admit, you're looking pretty sharp, Marko.

Love this -- but watch the catch-light on the far eye when using this setup.

Yeah, I think I might snoot a light from above to simulate a soft spot light on the face.

Thanks for the honest input everyone!! This was a hard shoot because everything was very cramped and I did not have 100% control. Normally I like models to be a good 5-10 feet in front of a background but in this case maybe I was about 4 feet from the wall. I actually tried a more sophisticated lighting plan but the spill was everywhere so I decided to settle for a less sophisticated setup and 'just shoot'. More to come....

Lol, I can just hear an Al Green imitation.

Very well done, very lighthearted and it shows. Very nice shots.

Thanks for the comments - More silliness abounds so here's 2 more shot the following day on the same background. Feel free to comment/critique any aspect. - Thx - marko
