    Great capture, Rainbow. thumb.gif I just wish you can tone down the highilghts a bit more for balance. Other than that a stellar work! clap.gifclapclap.gif

    First one is really terrific - you've captured a formative moment in a child's life. I'd lose the second one.

    I like the first one Rainbow. She truly is enthralled with him. I wonder if this is the first homeless person she's seen or maybe she reminds her of someone?

    I do agree a bit with jiro that the highlights in the BG are just a tad distracting to the subject, but it's not critical and it's your photo.

    What a great moment you caught in the first one!

    She is indeed mesmerized and oblivious to what ever has caught the other's attention. So, I'm much more interested in what's in her head than what's going on that has everyone else's interest. Kudos! clap.gif

    Glad I didn't call it "Enlightened" to try even harder to sneak the second one by...ne_nau.gif The first originally going to be by itself (which I should have kept to). The woman with the hat could have been a subject all by herself but I did not notice her until I saw the shots later.

    I agree on the bright BG. It is something I struggle with in PP sometimes as if I bring it back more using global sliders, the main subject begins to look get a 'plastic' appearance (I slid the 'highlights' slider back the max amount). And I am resisting using layers as taking the fun out of it (too much PC time already).

    Thanks, everyone!
