Yep.. I like them alot. Great work Andy.

The DOV and lighting is excellent in the first shot. Wondering how you went about to get the second shot.. care to tell us the procedure?

Thanks for all the comments. #1 was treated to some PS, as the DA* 16-50mm was giving me some ugly bokeh. I tried to keep the PS subtle. Probably my best PS job up to now!

The second shot was really simple, though it took a lot of tries to get it to look just right. Basically, I lay on a trampoline while she jumped right next to me and posed. The red sky was made through temperature and tint adjustments. That's it!

My friend is part Native American, and her parents collect paraphernalia, so she had a lots of this stuff on hand. Her friend is an artist, and took care of the body paint which also looked phenomenal.
