Roz, so glad you joined us!!!!

I love this one. Looks like they are partying harder during their warm up phase then I partied at my peak on New Year's Eve! But I guess I am showing my age. Sigh....

The processing really works nicely here. Great lighting. Nice spontaneity. Great expressions on both of their faces.

I really like this version a lot! Retaining the brown toning works well here. (I guess this woman in this specific outfit just was not meant to be grunged.)

Lighting is great, eyes are wonderful as are skin tones. Pose of the head and facial expression are excellent. However the body posture seems quite awkward with her leaning back and her arms pointing back -- but if you crop just above the shoulders (losing the garment and just a bit of the hair in back) you have yourself an outstanding head shot.
ETA: do you have a version of her without the leafy head gear?
