    lovely models...and great ideas...the only suggestion I would say is it would have been interesting to see how an amber or red light on the models would have complimented the natural lighting. However of these I like the poses of 2 and 4 the best. 3 is a fun shot...but it would have been much better with a little front amber light.

    My favorite of the bunch is your current entry, #1. I love its timelessness and how you're using the sunlight as a natural spotlight on her. It's also the most artistic of all of them, IMO.

    #1 is nice but doesn't fit the theme for me, so I'd say #4

    Nik,

    I certainly agree with #4, but that is most likely the male in me not looking at the photo aspects of the photo. :D

    As usual I'm off somewhere else. All 4 are really great images, but I like #3 the best, it feels very spontaneous and seems to be celebrating the sunset or sunrise .

    The other three images seem focused on the models and not dusk or dawn, but what do I know, I'm usually off in left field some where.

    regards,
    I don't know where I'm goin, but I'm goin anyway.

    Hmmmmm. I really liked 'Jumpy' until you posted these last two. I like them both, but would give a very slight edge to Lone Rock. There's something about it (reflection maybe?) that just grabs me.

    Very nice. Good luck.

    Lone rock is amazing, and I know I'm not really at any place to give any suggestions to you, but if Lone Rock wasn't a bit crooked, it would be absolutely amazing.

    :D
