This thread has sparked a spirited discussion this morning. My wife and I are undecided over #7, #6 and #2..

I am either too new to vote or tapatalk is not the best way for me to access the forum...

I vote #7

**Madaboutpix** · 10-16-2019, 09:16 AM

Not an easy pick, but I went for #9. Love the soft ambient and the strong sense of the situation.

It is funny to me that if I look at #10 and #11, I can see the same person. Maybe just a year apart, or more.

There are some great shots in here. I find portraits hard to judge honestly - it's too easy to vote for (or against) the subject and forget that the task at hand is to judge the photographer's work.

voted for #2 , very great picture

'Way too many stereotype/stilted poses! But I love #6, it doesn't fit the "cookie-cutter" idea of a portrait AND, it made me chuckle!

Very nice work, everyone! Always so hard to choose just one, but I just want to look at the girl and her dog all day long...

Some nice portraits but perhaps not the strongest competition on this Forum

**safford1977** · 10-16-2019, 02:49 PM

I really like 12

Some lovely portraits. But please don't watermark your image. You would not get away with it at a print competition
