Not a big fan of portraits but some of these are very nice!

HoutHans · 10-15-2019, 08:13 AM

Same here, Not a fan at all, but some of the people and portraits are excellent. Well done everyone.

**whammerhead** · 10-15-2019, 10:58 AM

Hmm. Between #5 & #13 for me. That child's eyes (wow) and the character in that man's face

**S.M.** · 10-15-2019, 11:19 AM

I vote for 12

Tesla · 10-15-2019, 11:54 AM

I voted 1, but others were very creative!

MarkJerling · 10-15-2019, 02:34 PM

As always, I struggle to vote for just one!

**blues_hawk** · 10-15-2019, 03:06 PM

I've never been into people or portraits much but like to support the group and vote in the contests whenever possible. I had no trouble choosing this month, but decided not to share my pick, so there. :P

Congrats to the winner!

Great job to all the finalists! Some really nice work here.

I'm rotten at portraits myself (I can never take them seriously enough). I think it is amazing that I can pick some photographers work here just from seeing their other work on Pentax forums over the years. Some people have a very distinctive style. Then there are the people who insist on watermarking/signing their entries. Unfortunately they loose my vote immediately. (Sorry about that).

Radobojski · 10-16-2019, 02:00 AM

My favorite is #4 because this photo best describes the depth of a child's innocent soul

morenjavi · 10-16-2019, 03:16 AM

There are two good candidates for me, it was hard to decide.

**Fotus Tuus** · 10-16-2019, 03:41 AM - **1 Like**

IMHO only #5 is the best.

First of all, I know this is sometimes a harsh competition but...

Can't vote, this should be here!

Additionally, it's strange to me how great portraits that were submitted and didn't make it to the final, while unflattering and technically odd portraits did...must be me, but maybe, just maybe it isn't.
