Hi Kelly,

You have a creative eye and a nice sense of humor! You're asking a lot with your request -- there's a whole world of ways for each of us to improve our shots.

Here's a thought: the three shots you posted rely heavily on post processing for their effect. How about making some shots that are equally striking, but don't rely on such obvious manipulation? :ivar

HI! I think your best one is the best shot, but you can tell around her head that it isn't as blurred in the background as the rest. I'd probably un-blur the rest of the background (I'm assuming you did this in PP) or at least make it more subtle.
