Hey guys,
I'm posting three pictures, two from Bear Mountain in New York and one portrait-style picture from Highline NYC. Thanks!

#1 has nice curve that draws the eye in. Not much to dwell on though.

The flower has nice, non-intrusive background, but it seems to be a little bedraggled - seen its better days?

The portrait is very nice. The lighting seems to be exactly sutited to this setup, but the sunglasses hide too much and should have been removed.

The pose, colors, surroundings and exposure are all excellent on the portrait.

1 and 2 arent doing much for me, personally. like Mr Lay said, the leading line is nice in #1.

the portrait is nice, though. way better than the other one you posted friday that had half gray wall and half blue b/g. this is a more effective use of the gray and blue.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

Wow Bob! We are actually agreeing on a ton of stuff lately. This makes three in a row now me thinks. :-p World must be coming to a close...

I think the portrait would have been improved by altering the angle to have the entire head on the blue background. The hair blends in to the dark too much.

I agree that the portrait would be slightly better with the head entirely on the blue background. Otherwise, great shots.
