While I respect you for not saying it (I usually try to use it as a lame excuse), you made a very ordinary location look gorgeous. The pose and composition of #10 are so beautiful that I don't mind the grain in the slightest.
Some small critiques from a great set...
#9 looks like a very non-macro ring shot... if that makes sense. For that reason, it looks ordinary amongst an otherwise beautiful collection of photos.
#14 could be cropped down to lose the guy on the right and the ceiling. It would hide the surroundings more.
Tony: I've thought about that exact crop on #14. What I keep coming back to, though, is that the B&G will probably be happier having that guest's expression in the shot...
Cathy: I've had a studio that I rented by-the-day for certain projects, but it was too expensive to do a day-rental for all but my commercial clients for the most part. Much of the non-commercial studio portraiture on my site is either improvised with a bare wall or using a portable seamless setup. I've gone to a regular monthly rent agreement to get the costs down to the point where I can do more studio portrait business.
(Facebook) I would have never known that.
