I think this is probably my favorite because of the angle, the focus on the eyes and her smile. Wish her fingers weren't cut off though.

I like the angle. I like the sharp focus on the eyes. I'd like to either see more of the bouquet or not at all. Right now it brings my eyes down there to wonder what I'm looking at, only to go away dissatisfied because I can only imagine.

I think you're trying to show off her ring here with the hand placement, but for me this isn't working. It just doesn't feel all that natural for her to bring her arm across her chest like that to put her hand on her shoulder. I'd suggest something like putting her hand up by her face or something ... gotta get creative and, granted, you were doing that, all I'm saying is this one doesn't do it for me.

Now that's a pretty cool, and "different", take on a well-known often-photographed subject!

The good news is ... nature granted you an interesting sky to play with. :-)

I don't know if you photoshop'd this already... I suspect you did because of the color of the sky. In any case, if you haven't... you might try duplicating this setting the layer to multiply. Reduce it way down so you have just a touch of multiply on it. That will bring out the yellows and reds in the ground and deepen the blue of the sky. Anyway, just something to play with.

Light at the Entrance of the Tunnel

This is kind of cool. It's perhaps a bit overexposed ... the yellow seems a little harsh on the ground inside the tunnel and I really wouldn't mind if the area outside the tunnel was darker. So you could darken it all up in photoshop. I'd probably duplicate the image onto another layer and select Multiply and then reduce the opacity down to where it looks good.

Wow, this image is totally awesome. I love the depth of the blacks against the sunset and the sharp detail of the fishing pole. Composition and everything is just perfect! Straight to the faves.
