Thanks so much!

Also did a color version. Which do you guys prefer?


IMHO: In the color version, there's a swath of pink-orange about level with the model's head that provides a nice bokeh background for the lady. Converted to B&W, that area becomes more contrasty, with an eye-catching abstract pattern that I think pulls attention away from the model. So IMHO, the color version is slightly better, having no elements that compete with the subject.

Both are fantastic as are all your photos you post! I have no problem focusing on the main subject
I do prefer the B&W!

I think I like the B&W myself, the flare makes it look like she has one black boot & one brown, heh. But... both are still awesome.

Last night I took a mini backpack trip near Crested Butte and slept out under the stars although the moon was so bright it was hard to see them!
Things are hazy from wildfires elsewhere but it was still a beautiful night and morning!
Thanks !
Beautiful shots !

Speaking of multiple choice...

I was torn on these two... I really liked the sharp shadows of pistols and stamens on the shot with focus on the back petal, but I also liked the sharp stamens. If I was smart and had used a tripod, I could have stacked the two photos and had both maybe? Oh well.... I've never tried stacking. What's your pick?

First one by a wide margin. They are the subject of the photo IMO.

First by far. OOF main subject is annoying, OOF secondary subject (shadows) is perfectly acceptable. SUGGESTION: Crop them with all elements in as close-as-possible identical positions, then try stacking just those two files.

Color version, as the bus stop background glass colors are too nice to pass up on

I call this one 'The Dangers of Fidget Spinning'
