I really like this shot,the windswept hair and rose add drama. The model looks like Sienna Miller.

Thanks for the compliment :-) The girl is my niece. I think she's going to break a few hearts....

I like this one, but I do like monochrome images anyway, and adding a bit of colour with the rose really makes the image, and I don't mine that fact that you have cut the top of her hair off. Well done.

Thanks guys. I think the portrait would have been less intimate without the crop; there being some distracting elements above and behind her head.

Very nice Ian, great conversion too. Selective colouring works well here.

Loverly shoot Ian , The only Distracting thing for me is that you can see her skin color around the rose were you have used the softedge brush on the layermask and its spilt over from the rose onto her face.

And this one is being very picky ,and this is my opinion!
I feel the image needs a little more space to the girls right as she has more space behind her than to her front and she`s seems to be looking out of the frame do you know what i mean.

Bloody hell i think i have been spending too much time in camera clubs.
Anyway cracking shot..

Thanks again guys.

James, I think you're right about the use of space. The colour on the cheek I left in for "effect", but I agree that this should be eliminated.

This is great advice and critique from you guys.

Keep shooting
Ian
