As always, critique more than welcome, especially with regards to the conversions, as that's a definite weak point of mine... :D

Do you think the 2nd shot is too cooked? I think i'll re-do it at some point today, as it's starting to look too hot to me now!?!

I think I need to see a bit more going on in the first.

As for the conv, brighten #1 up a bit and add a touch more contrast and drop #2 down a bit.

Should be lot sweeter after that.

Cheers Mitesh,

#1 was fairly animated til i pointed the camera in his direction, i don't think he saw me, just bad timing really. Missed a good shot i think. :D

I'll have a play with em a bit later, as i'm going out in a minute. Thanks for the pointers. ;)

I'm not sure, I like #1 better than #2. There's a story in both photos, and that's the beauty of them. Conversions are VERY subjective. But, given a choice I like the contemplative nature of #1.

I'm not feeling either one of these:( The first one definitely needs more contrast and to be lightened up. I like it better than the second. Play and repost:)

Thanks for the comments/tips. ;)

I've edited #2 again, as it didn't look that different before!?! Hopefully this latest version is better?
