    I think these are gorgeous. Very stylish and ethereal.

    Thanks. The really funny thing is that I shot these in a vacant lot next to an abandoned grocery store. Right on a main drag in town.

    I think the first one is great, the second one I'm not too crazy about with the softening around the face and the subejct flat with the camera. I find it less dynamic.

    The second one would've been a great shot had you had more natural sunlight on the other side of her face. Try and reshoot that image if you can, and see if you can get a "triangle" of light on her other cheek. I love the pp you applied...makes it look very soft and mysterious at the same time.
