Very well done. The first one is my favorite.

[Bluelens]

I love the second pic. Great job on both.

[Dandaman_24]

Second one is awesome.

I like the first one quite alot. There is something classical about the lighting and processing softness that makes it almost 'Rockwell-esq'. To me it captures the innocence of an anxious young girl perhaps waiting by a window for her date to arrive.

I really like the first image. I am curious about the your techinque and the plugin. Can you explain what you did? melacoltorhyjtiojbvoirhjbvsuiohjk plugin + silence preset (modified), and my own technique to get the soft focus.

[jgbeam]

I like them both. Lighting very different for each. Very nice.

Very nice shots. The second one is VERY VERY nice:p

[Doug Rowan]

Great stuff! That's porbably how it sounds over on the N*kon forums about now too!

[DocFrankenstein]

1) Is this the same girl?
2) the pic2 looks like she's gonna jump at me and suck my... blood or something.
3) What's the technique for soft focus again?

[IanBMW]

Wonderful shots....I mean like WOW....and with ISO 1600 it is almost unbelievable....bravo :D

[xdjoynerx]

thanks for the comments...

and for the soft focus, click the red channel in the channel window, select all, ctrl-c, new layer, ctrl-v, layer mode = lumonisoty, gassuian blur 4px, layer opacity 40% ish, create layer mask, and with the black paint brush, color over areas like the eyes and lips and stuff you want to have more sharpness.

Very impressive mood, tone, and subject. I usually don't get too excited about most of the photos posted in this forum, but yours are exceptional. Thank you. The first one is so innocent, the second one looks so voyeur and sexual. Please post more of your work.

For some reason they look to be froma horror video. no offence but great shots none-the less.

1) Looks like she has a heavy head-cold
2) Looks derranged (while out of context)

You are not doing either of them a favour by posting them looking like that.
The 2nd one looks very familiar. Did you post her pic before?
