You really captured their ... humanity. Nice work and the BW rendering 
is excellent.

This one was taken through thick dirty glass, but I'm glad I gave it a

That Bigma has spent a lot of time on my camera since I got it. Sort
of wondering how I ever lived without it. It is a good 'un.

The Bigma is certainly doing a great job.

I like both equally - BW works well.

The bigma looks pretty good in these pictures! I like the one through
the dirty glass especially!

Both are excellent portraits, but the detail and the expression make
the first really special.

Both nice, but prefer the dirty glass shot. The slightest bit of catch light 
locates the eye and makes the image.

Very good indeed.
