i really like the fact that you didn't clone out some of her "imperfections", makes it a lot more authentic and honest.
your b&w conversion is top notch!

holy crap, dude, grats on a well deserved win!!!
Quite ironic to finish off your "career" as a gipsy photographer by winning a blue in a challenge isn't it...;)

guess you can simply call that luck. ;)

Originally posted by messerschmitt: edit: what brand is this?looks like a very very early model Kreidler ..i'd suggest to just buy it;)

no, it's an early model of the Simson Star (SR51) that was manufactured 1970-74. i'll post a shot of the model my sister is going to buy as soon as she owns it. :)

this one is my favorite lighting wise, because it seems nicely soft and balanced. maybe you could have exposed a tiny tad longer to lighten up the background more, like 1/3 or half a stop longer.
your models stand out quite nicely from the background as is tho.
definately a keeper!

in this one the colors look really washed out, also the blown outs on his face are distracting, focus doesn't seem to be on his face either. compostiton is quite uninteresting, maybe you could have chosen a lower angle to include the background (beware of the horizon line "chopping off" his head) or a higher angle with him looking up as to blur the grass a lil more and get a more interesting POV.
doesn't mean to offend, just trying to give an honest critic. ;)
