Your thoughts?

Definitely a tough choice... but I can see the difference. I like the over-all sharpened one better.... Mostly because the textures on the rock are more defined.

scroll up... scroll down... scroll up... scroll down... scroll up... scroll down... scroll up... scroll down... i'd go with the first, she seems to "pop" a little more & my eye doesn't dribble off down the page but stays focused on her :]

Second on cynlee with the first one.

i like #2 better

Actually, I really like most of the ones where she is sitting on this little outcropping (it's about 20 ft from the beach below). There are probably 8 that I've done from there and I like them all. This one I went for a richer shadow feel ... a little darker than the other one.

maybe i was following the hair off the page in the first one... as it looks great in #7 with the sharp foregd rock :/ i don't knoooooooow... but that hair is really something!

I don't have #7 or any of these processed in color. B&W from the conversion. Would need to convert over and process.

on her would go first sharp and then soft about the image prefere the 2 is very nice d shsarpnes in it and overal 3 is my fav...

Just to keep things simple (choosing between 1 or 2) - I definitely like the first one better (leave it to me to go against the grain). After all, it's not a shot of rocks, and the softening doesn't destroy the "rock environment" - it's still there without competing for attention (although, if the rocks are fighting for attention, maybe you need some additional help from a complete team of psychological experts!) Either way - I'm gonna have trouble getting to sleep tonight! Simply a gorgeous shot! A cross between seductive, submissive, untamable, mischievous, wild and tame - did I leave anything out? Wolf

There are rocks in the photos? Oh there! I agree with Michelle, I like the texture.. IN THE ROCKS!! ;-) Magick Michael

I prefer the 3rd one down. The last one to me has too much light on hair and makes it the prime zone in .Leaves me not even seeing anything else. 3rd one is awsome.(and I know it is downsized alot and you would fix above the eye.) This is just one guys opinion.:)

" I don't have #7 or any of these processed in color. B&W from the conversion. Would need to convert over and process." And your point is? OK. Thanks Michael. I see the rocks now that you've pointed them out. Think you need sharp textured rocks to contrast.

Why do I feel like I'm wading through puddles of drool? #7 I'm not crazy about the expression on her face in that one..... #9 Works better IMHO. Now back to the rocks... they are there. I think the location happens to be an important part of the images. It isn't just about a beautiful girl..... otherwise you could have shot these in any old location with a plain white background and you'd still have the drool factor working your special Donald magic. :~)

Definatly #2 The rocks and texture finish the shot perfectly for me anyway.

I just want to draw a mermaid tail on her - can I? Can I? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee??? :) Outstanding images - all versions! Dee-Marie

#7...i think face too much in shadows. but i like her eyes best here. still like #2 best i think.

Actually from My Manly Point of View, I found the first Image to be the superior of all the Images without a doubt. Such a pretty Model....does She know of Your New Zealand Connection?.... Me :]
