You can vote for your favorite portrait. The reason I have to set up a poll is to know what the viewers think regarding my portrait shots.
Have been in photography for the last 5 months so I consider myself a newbie.

The category is "Portrait using Natural Lighting"
All pictures are not post process.
Resized to lessen bandwidth.

Reminiscence
Overjoyed
Innocence
Poverty
Power

white_knight0731,

...I have a slight problem with this poll:

If you wanted a purely photographic poll on which shot we like best (The category is "Portrait using Natural Lighting"), then you better not 'Title' them.

Now, the title also plays along: the 'Poverty' shot will probably 'win' the poll, because it is the most strong 'title/image' combination.

In other words: by giving the images a title, you 'force' the audience to look at them from *that* perspective...

When *I* look at your shots, as you now posted them, 'poverty' is the clear winner.

Without a title, IMHO #1 and/or #7 would be more serious contenders, as *I* like the shots better, but 'in combination with the title' they are not that strong...

...as always, all the above is just *my* €0.02 worth... YMMV...

My kindest regards and respects,

Max@Home
