Roma Balcony Portraits

Hey,
Whilst in Rome last week I decided to take a break from the run-of-the-mill touristy pictures and have a go at portraits, do you have any tips/ideas for improvements?

Re: Roma Balcony Portraits

I love the second one...really nice.

I think the bright sunlight may have caused a few problems with the first

Re: Roma Balcony Portraits

I think the strong light with the wicked shadows is what makes the first one daisy

Re: Roma Balcony Portraits

Am sure you are right Cakey...but Polo did ask for comment

I can only see a tiny image of the first one and would welcome a link to a size that gives my poor ol' eyes a break.
