Love tho pose and background although the first two seem a little hot,
but nothing that a little use of curve in PS won't remedy.

I too like the last one best, Mike! Nice work!

Thanks everybody. The first two are a bit "harsh", but there's nothing I can do about that....other than waiting until the lighting is better.

As Russ pointed out...use curves to bring down the highlights.

Took 5 seconds in CS4...most competent image editors have a curves adjustment.
