    Like 'em alot. I find the body hair (right breast) in the top pic a bit distracting.

    Thanks!
    I decided to go pretty much "as is" on these ones, no PS work except BW conversion and framing (if at all)

    Love the lighting and the subject.
    The hairs don't bother me at all, they show just how sharp the focus is. What is that object I see over her right shoulder and above her right hand in #1 and behind her back in #2? I find that just a little distracting.

    First one doesn't work for me...

    Second one, I think I would really like seeing breasts cropped out. They're vying for attention and the foreground one isn't in the depth of focus. Maybe if the foreground nipple was in shadow, I think that might work too. The lines of her ribs and stomach could stand on their own, IMHO.

    Really amazing detail and soft shadow work....very nice departure, I like where you're going recently for sure.

    Frank (Doorhof) made almost exactly the same comment, so you're in a good company.. And I agree, deeper DOF is in order here...
