#1 would be better if you'd gotten the top of her head or pulled in closer with a portrait vice landscape photo. Nice subject.

I like the composition of the first, and the color balance and exposure of the second. Put the two together and I think it'll be a force to be reckoned with!

i actually did get the top of her head, that is a crop from a larger photo. it was originally in vertical orientation, but i didnt like it near as much.

I like the composition of the first, and the color balance and exposure of the second. Put the two together and I think it'll be a force to be reckoned with!

i'm trying to re-edit the first one to look more like the 2nd, if i succeed, i'll post it up.

edit: i just did it, this is the best i could do:

I would clone out the ?? mascara?? in the corner of her dominant eye, but otherwise I really like the first shot. I would like to have seen a bit more of her hair on that one side, but what is there is great, as it has movement in it. I liked the square crop, it didn't bother me that the top of her head was cropped. That is often a matter of personal taste, despite the "rules", which are made to be broken situationally.

wow i didnt even notice the mascara, thanks for bringing that to my attention. after looking at the first one, I would prefer to crop out more of her neck/shirt if i was cutting her hair that much, just to balance it out.
