The first one the main subject is lost since the color of the dress and the background is the same or similar, in B&W anyway. All I saw was the ad in the background.

I'm not a fan of desaturated/selective colors so no comment on that one.

i like the first one, but i think it needs some staightening, and i agree with aram that she does get lost a little bit- cool shot other than that. i really like the second one, including the PP... absolutley love the pose, it makes you really wonder what happened over there. almost surreal

Being a graphic designer, I really like the first one a lot. It's what I might call a 'living abstract' and the great juxtaposition of a subject that is dwarfed by incredible typographic and photographic elements that seem abnormally large because of the cropping. I don't mind the subject being a little lost in the image... the delay in the discovery of her and her dog is welcomed.

I really like the first shot. It kind of makes you wonder what you're looking at and then you realize it's not a Photoshop job, it's just an add it the backgroud. It would be nice to see the woman and her dog in color, however, just to see the difference and make them pop. I think I might like the second shot better if it was just the woman in frame and the table and the man to the right of the photo were cropped out all together. There's a story behind her expression while the man on the right doesn't necessarily add anything for me. He's a slight distraction. I like the PP and the photo in general, but just a something else to try. They are both nice, interesting shots.

#1 - Like it. Shows a sense of scale that is very intriguing. My main quibble would be that it would be better if the lady and her dog were on the right... walking into the photo rather than walking out of it.

#2 - Does nothing for me. Sorry.
