[Dimitry]

The second shot is amazing! :)

[djonto]

Oddly, I prefer the first one, though they are both great shots

[John Trogdon]

Both are very nice shots. Cute kid!

[KevC]

I really love the desaturated look... :)

Second one is really nice, she justs pops out. Did you have ps that sky, or was that just one exposure.

I've been on a desaturated look kick this month. Though I lose some intense coloring, I seem to be gaining some good density in the images which I prefere more.

Just one shot, it was a pretty cloudy day, which is always great for taking pictures. Your probably wondering why her face looks brighter...I have an overlay layer with 50% gray. Then I use a low opacity white brush to lighten up (same as dodging but this is the way you do it if you don't want to destroy the original layer and also gives you more control).

[smudge]

It's a good technique. Works well, I must try it.

[Raj]

I like both of them.
Good job !

Really like number 2, cute girl. I think if you could seriously blur the background in that one it would be improved. The leading edge of the roof pointing right at her mouth is very distracting. She, on the other hand, is about perfect.
