Trying some different color options here for a little creativity. What do you think? Nice or too much?

Any and all CC's are welcomed, harsh or not. I want to get better so any tips at all are sincerely appreciated.

Colour treatment is going to be personal taste, and for me it doesn't really add to the image.

Composition in the first is a little static having your subject smack dab in the center like that.

The second composition is fantastic. I absolutely love your depth of field, and chosen focus point. Super image. Emotion is great. I keep looking at this one trying to find something I don't like, but I can't. You'd be crazy not to hang this one :)

In the first shot, she looks as if she's being baked in an oven -- or something -- it's a cute capture, though.

I totally adore #2, from what I can see of the rather small image. The alignment of flower and boy is well-nigh perfect!

Thanks for the kind words and the helpful hints! I thought #2 was good but I was afraid I was being biased. #1 is not my usual crop. I like the rule of third and try to stick by it most of the time, this shot just didn't make it with the composition, I couldn't find a good way to crop.

The first picture reminds me of an old silent film, I think it looks quite artistic. I'd be pleased with them if they were mine :)

Are clueless people even meant to comment around here? Heh.

Definitely like #2. The composition/DOF effectively gravitates my focus towards the flowers. Well done!
