Two quick portraits with the FA50/1.4

Two quick portraits with the FA50/1.4 · 05:49 AM

Hi

I've been without a digital body for a month now and I've been editing some photos from my archives to put online. First one is taken with K10d, 2nd with K100d Super and both with my FA50. I took a bit of saturation away and added some blue with the curves tool in gimp, then added some contrast. What do you think?

Nice shots , I like the look of #2

maybe you can do some editing to the accessory above her lip? it looks as if it its a different layer laying on top of the original photograph. (in fact it appears sharper than all the other details). but im no pro though.

edit:
my apologies if its a birthmark / mole.

It's a piercing and is in the focus area while the skin behind it isn't, that's why it's sharper than the lips. I wouldn't want to edit it out

I like these. One can sense the mood of the ordinary day.
Eye contact in the second picture is really nice.

Many thanks for the comments! I hope I get my K10d back next week so I can do some shooting.

Nice portraits, I much prefer the candid to the formal.

The 2nd one is my favorite of the two as well.
