    If I post it, please tell me how to make it better. My fragile ego can take it.

    Another for 1. The Second might work in a themed fashion spread or ad (Silk Cut, anybody? rolleyes1.gif), but otherwise the desat moves it towards goth/vampire. If that's what you want, fair enough.... but I suspect it probably isn't :)

    Yet another vote for full color. She has that terrific peanut butter complexion that I love with my own model Ann Marie.

    Then again, I'm in love with pretty much anything you post of Mrs. alex, so you should probably just ignore me. Laughing.gif

    #1 hands down. The skin in #2 looks a little too desaturated. Although my only nit is that the skin looks too smooth. However, I really do like the pose!

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm looking at these shots again and I absolutely agree, full color is the best. Not sure what I was thinking yesterday.

    I'm the odd person out, they are both super but I vote # 2. Your exposures and depth of the image are just great.

    I suppose it depends what you are going for, but I like the second one best. As soon as I saw it I thought "300 Spartans". Looks like it would fit right in.

    It would no doubt take a bit more than the 3 minutes I put into it, but you get the idea, unless of course you don't see your wife staring in a bloody sic-fi action flick targeted at 18-25 year-olds in which case I like number one best. :D

    Na, I take it back...I like #2 best either way. thumb.gif

    I just kinda dropped your wife on top of queen Gorgo, there are probably better "300 Spartans" pics to use but this one caught my eye.
