I think the white balance looks pretty good and the DOF works.. Maybe up the saturation a little bit more and sharpen the image cause I see some soft lines. Apart from that It'd be pretty good.

Applied a little USM and changed levels a little in the first. Second had a midnight sepia action run on it. Thanks everyone for your advice... Bodies: 1d mkIII, 30D, 20D,
