Hi Brian,
Well done mon ami, well done.

Now a small word of advice......... ;-) ;-) Knock it off because you've just 
made a bunch of shooters on list very nervous with this excellent set of 
pictures. Like a lot of them don't need this wonderful competition! :-) :-) 
Then maybe? ;-)

Oh and one more thing.....with a fine set of photographs like these there's 
absolutely not reason to make excuses.....IE:
>>>>The hairlight was set all wrong on the fourth picture, but I like it 
>>>>enough to show you anyhow.<<<

You like it, you shoot it, you show it! And no need to make negative 
comments about the lighting. Because if it works for you and the subject, in 
essence that's the only folks who need to be satisfied.:-)

Good on you, it's a fine set of portraits. Oh and the next time you have a 
bunch you feel good about? Please send them along. Thank you
