Hi Don: That's a fun set. I think the last portrait, #2782 is the strongest, with the first, #8990 following, though I'd like to see a bit of catch light to the eyes in the first portrait, but that's a minor nit as compared to all other strong qualities of the frame. To me, those two are real winners. I like #0278 for the signage, Save the TA TAs, but the reflections in the woman's glasses are less interesting than the reflections in the man's glasses, which add to the photo. #1276 is nice and the reflections in the glasses work really well there, especially the right lens.
I want to like the woman with the cig, number 6798, but for some reason it isn't working right, pose, attitude, something isn't quite there for me. The attitude is a little flat though it seems to want to ooze attitude, but doesn't. In number 1640 the man's headband says Sturgis, Black Hills Rally. That's a big rally. I believe Jay Leno used to do that rally. If I ever get a motorcycle again, for sure I'm going to do that rally. Enjoyed your set.
