Do these work for you?

I don't know what you call these types of shots - they're not really portraits... are they?
I kind of like the images themselves but I'm easily pleased so I'd like your guys' honest opinions please. I just thought it'd be interesting to shoot different parts of people.

Hey Daros. Good to see some offset images from you, and I like them both....
BUT there seems (on my screen, at least) to be something wrong with the bokeh in the second shot. Which lens was that....or was it roughed-up in PP?

#1 could be really nice, maybe if she was holding something.

#2 lacks point of interest, not really drawn to it.

Thanks ey
No I didn't rough it up in PP That's just the crazy-ass bokeh of the Super Takumar 1.8/55, it starts to wreak havoc if there's lots of "stuff" in the picture...

Wow I think I see what you mean with #1 ~> after you mentioned that I immediately wished there was a flower or something in her hand... cool...

#2 - yeah, I have a feeling the distracting bokeh doesn't help...

Thanks for comments

There's nothing to focus on in either picture.
