    The first is okay (pity about the cut-off feet, though), but the second I really like. The slightly tilted viewpoint works well, since it makes the reflected figure almost perfectly vertical and adds some dynamism to the composition. The contrast between the bluish room and the red dress is nice, too. Strictly speaking, it looks like your white balance is a bit on the blue side, but I think in this case it's better that way. Even the cut-off elbow and foot are fine; they make the shot look more casual and "in the moment" rather than premeditated and carefully arranged. Good job!

    Got bored with digital and went back to film.

    Not sure about the billboard shot simply because the billboard is sharper than the walking figure, which I want to be the main subject

    LOVE the dressing room shot - agree with Craig that the warm dress/person vs cool light and sterile feel of the dressing room really makes it snap. Nice!! thumb.gif

    (PS nice mall you got there - are you in Europe or at home? I can't think of anywhere near me that has a Bally Suisse, sadly, and if there is one.... I want to know where it is!!! rolleyes1.gif)
