They are all great!
In MY UNTRAINED UNPROFESSIONAL OPINION I think the second one of your wife looks a bit washed out from the flashes. I really like the skin tone colors on the first one of her but almost to much shadow on the right side (her left) Same thing on your forth picture, just a tad bit to much shadow on that side of the face. Also I love the gray back drop with her but sorry old man your distinguishing gray hair gets lost in that background, maybe a brown or dark blue maybe? And I can't see the third picture.

Only thing constructive I have is I think a solid background would be better. Otherwise, I need to follow your lead.
Thanks David.

My opinion.
1st shot, too much shoulder, its closer to camera so it's larger in the photo than in real life, would be fine but not with sleeveless top. Different top and it would have been perfect. Or zoom in.
2nd shot, nearly perfect, just a little too much contrast on the face (washed out a little).
Last shot, just don't show any teeth! I hate it when someone takes my pic and my mouth is open, I think it makes me look older than I am (or perhaps as old as I am), like I can't breath through my nose any more cause I'm so old. I tell my wife to remind me any time I'm driving and my mouth is hanging open.
Great job, nice subjects, I like the backdrop colors, framing, etc. All better than I could have done.

Thanks for your comments DH.

As mentioned above, I bought two Vivitar 285 HV flash heads and there is nothing digitial about these. I already had a Oly FL-50 which hasn't been thrown into the mix yet. I bought a set of triggers (one transmitter, 3 receivers) off of ebay. The little box below the flash in the photos are the receivers. The transmitter goes in the hot shoe of the camera. I have 5 different light stands, one being a short background stand. Backdrop support stands. Four backdrops at this point. Tow 32" umbrellas that came as a kit with two of the light stands and two 45" umbrellas. The umbrellas I got are all white with removable black back so they can be used to reflect or shoot through. Various other accessories also.
I have been practicing getting consistent shots using one light so far. Once I get that I'll practice something else. Probably incorporating a "hair light". The great thing about these heads is you can take them anywhere. If you have any other questions, let me know.
