the pic called "alone" is totally miss titled:D a pretty woman like that,cannot find herself alone,under any given circumstances:D secondly the warmth is a little overdone:) even the wild west,cowboys era,never had so much warmth, as your pic:D the pretty woman and the backdrop are not complimenting each other in this composition:)
the second pic called"birdie" is just outstanding.......these two pics look like they have been shot by different persons:) thats my personal opinion;)

Thoughts:

1. A nice image, and excellent use of the road to focus the eye on the subject, however, she's too centered. Additionally, all of the pictures you've posted recently seem to have colour issues of one sort or another; the ones of your niece and the young boy seemed over-saturated, while this one and the bird have [what appear to be] WB issues. The skin tones appear much too warm.

2. Very nice capture, but the tones in this one appear rather too cool; it's got a slight blue caste overall.

Are you working on a calibrated monitor?

Just my $00.02 worth - your milage may vary

Thanks John..
As "taken" mention in the previous post i over done the "warming" ..so i will be careful next time..
For the other pics ..by default value for color was Vivid.. they wanted it that way..
No, I am not using a calibrated monitor..

teh first picture could have had the woman just walking out of the frame if you had got the depth oi field better

she is wearing bright colors and a more earthy tone background would have been really great

would have bene best if the torso was in focus byut the lower body was out of focus

Hi Hedonist, can you share some light on how to achieve this effect?
