    Two pictures...

    Hello,

    Here are two different pictures:
    -One of my girlfriend
    -One taken at Lake blanche, Utah

    I did some PS work on them (mainly saturation and contrast)

    Well, what do you think?

    i love the first one, like something you normally see in a frame when you buy it, not that that is always a good thing just not sure about the missing head? that does detract from it for me however it does leave something to the imagination!

    big fan of the first image, very different, something you wouldn't think to do
    second one is good looking to--did you perhaps clone out part of that mountain though? that first dip has a sudden edge to it

    In the first one, the foot take me right out of the frame, but it's easily solved with a little bit of room around it. The crop feels ind of awkward at the rm and shoulder area. I like the light and idea though!

    Second one doesn't work for me all too well. Not enough foreground interest to draw my eye in, uninteresting light, and a sky too devoid of clouds or color to really justify being that prominent in the frame.

    Take care.

    The first one a lot.Light, texture, shapes and brilliant pose.Well done, love the tone of colour on her legs. The second i dont care a lot for, needs something to give it the wow factor. Good work and keep posting.

    the second picture has nice color saturation, but not too crazy about the composition. The first one is GREAT! Wonderful creativity and lighting. I especially like, as someone else mentioned, that the upper body portion us not shown, which leaves a sense of wonder for the view. My only nitpick is that the feet are toooo close to the edge of the photo. I would give just a little breathing space. Other than that, excellent work!

    I like the first one myself, as someone said it sure leaves something to your imagination. Very unique view. The second doesn't do much for me, I can't however quite put my finger on what it might be. I think I would have to agree that there is not really any particular focus of this photo.

    Nice job, Seb!

    Thank you for your feedbacks

    I agree, after a second look to the landscape picture, nothing really catches the eye, I will try again. Here is a modified picture of my girl friend, I add some space near her foot, I think it looks better? What do you think?

    Thanks again for all your feedbacks, that is very helpful!

    I agree, the second posting with the added space is even better, which I didn't think possible.
