    Love the colors and the energy. Great texture in the brick and background exposure.

    I would prefer the silhouette be in focus and not the background. Not sure about the car being in the shot, it dates the image for me.

    Gotta agree with all this. In addition, (and there's no PC way of saing this:D) I think I would clone out that bright spot between her legs. To my mind, it's a very strong detractor (or attention attractor) that, I think, takes away from the strength of the image.

    Nik, I really, really like this. I didn't mind the bright spot between her legs, the car is ok gone but I would be equally happy with it there, but I really think the light at the top needs to go. Once that's cropped, it totally draws the girl in as the focal point. But you know, if you listen to everyone, you may end up with everything other than her armpit cropped! rolleyes1.gif

    I like the second one over the first with the car cropped out. But I can't help but wonder about the pose. Is she sniffing her new deodorant? Or scent?

    I like the new crop, but miss the light through the skirt.

    Nik, I don't mean to be flippant, but it looks to me like she's checking to see if her deodorant is still working. ne_nau.gif

    I agree with the others that this third version is super! the only nit pic i have left is that the light between her skirt doesn't appear as authentic as in the very first version - maybe a blend of the first and third versions at that location would work.

    Nice shot Nik! How long are you in Seattle for?

    I was only there for a day, I was on a business trip and arrived one day earlier. I'm back to SoCal now :-)
