    Those colors really work well against the green background of the grass. Nice wardrobe selection!

    Frankly, I thing six is my favorite of the bunch and I like five a whole lot too

    I really wish that in 2,3 and 4, that her hand wasn't balled up into a fist and I could see fingers.

    Nice set. I agree with Bryce -- 6 is my favorite too, though I like #1 a lot too. I think her face is picking up a lot of green light reflecting off the grass -- when you retouch, maybe add a bit of magenta tone to the shots. #4 is the worst offender to my eye.

    5 and 6 for me, and also 4. I'm not a fan of the high angles in the first three as they make her look diminutive. Otherwise, very nice colors and background separation in these. thumb.gif

    5 is gorgeous and 6 is plain fun. I also like 3. 4 is the only one that doesn't really work for me - not crazy about the shoes in this pose (it seems to work better barefooted or with trendy heels). Love the colours in her dress!

    Thanks everyone.

    I hadn't noticed the fist, but now that you say it, I agree in 2 and 3. In 4 I think it's more relaxed, so I think it passes. I love 6, but she has only been playing for about 6 months, so it's not like the uke defines her. I understand why she didn't pick it. I'd like to make an album cover out of it though.

    I agree about 2 and 3, I was surprised she picked them, but I love 1, I don't see the diminutiveness ne_nau.gif. 1 was inspired by the frame fillers thread here.

    great stuff over all..I love the color/pattern of her dress though not the style. I do think a slight vignette on these would benefit them the images
