Great choice of shots. Jackie sure has a gorgeous smile. Love the half face lighting. In fact, I think a tight crop on her face would be great.

WoW... no one can have skin that perfect. Nice tight crop. I love the way the bubbles sort of blend into the model's cheek. Great shot.

Nice work Jackie. She tended to have unnatural are positions, but I think that the straight on view of her arm minimized the awkward position. You did a great job with her and Brice(? Sorry, can't recall the name.)

In any event, I love your postings.

I thought I recognized your lovely model. We need to see more of your work with her. Best of everything.

Hi. I loved, and still love, this picture, but did not manage voting on this challenge. Had I voted, it would have been in the 7 or 8 range, limited only by not seeing how it might include a receipt. I am not sure that I like this version much better than the original, although it is certainly not worse. The expression on the model's lovely face is so engaging, that all else sort of fades into minutia.

Great job... in both versions.

Wonderful shots of a lovely young lady... just as I would expect from you and her. This is my favorite of her series. I think it is the degree of partial desaturation that makes it magic for me.

Great shot of downtown. I really like the perspective. I might have tried to clone out the crane and some of the orange signs, but that would have been a different image.

Great!

Eden....week 25 of PAW

I think you got it... the garden of Eden look. I don't know if the models eyes are really that green, but whether they are or not, they add considerably to the overall tonal quality. Your model is lovely. Perfect focus and DOF control. I rate it a favorite. Wonderful job!

Great job... the sort of thing that I enjoy doing. One tiny comment, the right foot is beautifully planted on the leaf, but it looks like the left foot is about to step off the leaf.

Perhaps extending the reflection on the leaf just far enough to extend beyond the toes would have addressed this. First I thought about suggesting a move of your image up and to the right just a touch to keep the toes on the leaf, but since the right foot is so beautifully planted, I wouldn't want to upset that.

Very nice job.

Now, I have to ask... Where do they have National Free Hugs Day? I suppose in Oceanside. I guess I will have to put a trip there on my calendar for next year.

Of the three you posted, I like this one the best. The confused expression on the passerby is priceless, but it is perfect that he is a bit out of focus. I also got a chuckle out of the "DO NOT" on the sign between the young lady and the bemused passerby.

Wonderful. One just can not beat being in the right place at the right time.
