Lovely.

Have the been squashed laterally in pS? There's something not right about number one.

^ squashed meaning "flattened"? What exactly does flattening do?

I love the first two. The bokeh and the skin tone is terrific. The expression on the first one says, "I'm about to laugh at something you said"! I wish the DOF on the second one was a little greater! The two just above are okay.

Her expression on the left one is a little blank. My monitor might be wrong, but the color balance looks out on the right one.

Gotta love the first two though:-)

The second picture is great. a tiny bit dark but that seems to make the picture more mysterious. Really great shot.

Really beautiful, the girl is exotic and mysterious, i love the cowboy hat, and especially like number 2, it just gives off a beautiful effect.

I love the second shot with the cowboy hat. The dof works so well here. The lighting is especially good on that shot too. Simple yet effective.

WOW, great shots. The model is beautiful, the lighting and the composition is outstanding. The color is good as well. Personally, I like #2 the best. The cowboy adds something very mysterious and exotic to the shot.


All Canon, all the time.
