I was looking for a stranger or two to photograph and ran across these two at a local farm.

    #2 is a great environmental portrait - I would clean up the skin and bring up the light on the figure a little bit (leaving the background as it is via a layer mask in PS). #4 is a lovely capture! I'd bring up some of the darks and the eyes... it's such a great shot that a tiny bit of work will really make it special.

    Thank you for the suggestions. #2 and #3 were for an environmental portrait assignment for a class I took.

    Very nice work. I think the legs are distracting in the first shot. I tend to crop portraits tighter unless their legs serve a purpose in the shot. I agree about cleaning up the skin the second shot. But, very nice!

    Oh my!! Love 2&3 ... so natural, yet beautiful! ... 4 would be really cute, but you don't see the details (colors) of her eyes and I would like to see her entire chin and less of her forehead ...
