Mostly, I should say! Your other reader gave some great, solid advice. I prefer the first photo for the colors and agree that a more angular shot might have made it more interesting.

Personally the graphic and b&w has a mystery to the subject and I think he also is more attractive in b&w/graphic because of the shadowing... Straight on color would be fine but not give that air of mystery/'bad' boy flair. :-).<br /><br />As far as the woman, I know for me, the appeal would of been more striking if you had tilted your camera at a 'kooky' angle, this one seems predictable...I learned a lot from a photographer that taught a few of us online to shot from the unexpected angles... To take the photo from various heights, angles to show what the perspective would be from either a child, insect, or a bird in flight...(last sentence is my take on what I learned).Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
