My favorite is the blue with the red background! I also like the two above that one. The ones with the orange bg! Smiler

I liked this one! I retouched it a little for fun! Good shots!

Though I don't love the slouched shoulders and the way it makes your t-shirt sloppy, my favorite is #5 (the first of thee orange background shots) because it feels natural and welcoming without being over the top with a huge smile.

The above retouch isn't too bad, but don't retouch out your freckles...they're part of you and should never be hidden in a headshot.

The lighting and color palette fall a little flat gray for a commercial appeal IMO, and I agree about the slouching, but your expressions seem pretty genuine and I get a good idea of what you look like in real life.

Hi villa,
I agree with Justin about the color pallet and lighting, those are all not the best choices for your skin tone.. For me, these are just not as interesting as you probably are. I think I would like the last 2 if the angle wasn't so strange and they weren't so gray over-all. I just think your clothing is a little more interesting in those. I also like your shirt choice in the one with the red background but I think the background is a little juvenile for you and your eyes don't pop in that one.
Hope that helps,
Joanna
