Lovely girl Ed.....I like the pose in the first one best, perhaps a little more hair lighting would suit me better......I did fill in the hair with LightMachine and I did like it, but not really sure I liked it better.....anyhow it is a very good shot of a lovely girl.
The second one is also a good shot but too bright for my taste,even though it is near perfect in how you shot it. Never have cared for a bright background...it's just me.......the first one is better for my particular taste.
Keep them coming, you always have such great shots...and girls! Until I get my new Studio this Fall, I will have mostly......just Squirrels....nothing wrong with that!
Best Regards!
