Oooh.... that first one, Hack. I personally would have shot it shallower to soften the front leaves, but that's a matter of taste. LOVE the skin tone, processing, and her wonderful connection with the camera!

Second one nice too - what a lovely smile! - but that arrow sign behind her runs the risk of misinterpretation without another letter there (I say this from experience of having a 15yo - they will ALWAYS pick the worst possible interpretatino of anything left ambiguous!)

Thanks diva......I guess I'm slightly naive. On the leaves I've never been a great fan of bokeh, don't know why just not. Maybe because I hang out with a bunch of photographers from the south......the folks from the north seem to be more interested in bokeh. (or at least the group I hang with).

Ha! I'm only about 100miles north of you lol

Seriously, with or without additional bokeh (as you say, taste), I LOVE that photo in the leaves. Love, love, love, love
