    Comps are good. Not digging the strong vignette and contrast on these. I think it's a bit distracting.

    #1 is great and the vignetting works well, but I agree on the rest it isn't necessarily needed, or at least not so strongly applied.

    Thank you
    Thank you!! Prefer these to just sitting on the beach and taking pictures. How boring is that!!

    Love #1! It really draws me in. Great atmosphere and the vignette heightens the effect. Creative series.

    I like the vignette on #2, I think it goes with the shape of the wooden (pier?)

    Please understand that this is my personal opinion and mileage may vary....

    I love number one. The shot, the processing... everything about it.

    The other leave me flat. Not because of the shots themselves, but because of the processing selected.

    They're all good shots though. Nice job!

    That's some creative thinking clap.gif

    There are a couple little things that bug me ...:

    1) I'd desaturate her dress, or was it really blue? mwink.gif
    2) Take away the sign in the grass (middle right)
    3) Isn't that one out of focus? headscratch.gif Maybe not .... Too bad she's sitting in the bright sun, but I get it that one doesn't always have a choice ...
    4) Love this one, but why aren't the feet in focus? :cry
