Both of these are nicely processed, John...The yellow really dominates the shot. Pity about that woman on the bottom of #1 in this batch. Her head was cut off.

Hi Izzie,

Yes, the extra face is what inspired the crop, I felt the emphasis on the hands as well as the facial features rivaled the full body shot.

Hi John , I love the color shot. But it seems a bit oversharpened to me. So may be it is better to sharpen the ladies selectively and leave the BG not sharpened as the details in the sharpened BG makes the image look complicated

I like the short pose as the image looks cleaner and the beautiful lady shows better

Hi Binnur,

I see your point. Thanks for comments and suggestion.

Binnur,

Added a blurred version to post #16.

Thank you for the explanation on both. I understand what you mean here. Something like, if it bothers me, maybe it is a good addition since the processing is good there too. And it looks like you had been having a good time taking photographs in that even too...

Hi Izzie,

Yes, it was a good event and it was good to see quite a few other photographers out there practicing their craft.
