I can't begin to rise to the level of Robeng, but in his absence, someone should post something!

Nice captures, too bad that she is anorexic.

I was going to say bye that lady a cheeseburger! Nice lighting beautiful scenery but those ribs are distracting...

Buy her a cheeseburger sure, but she is skinny, without the sunken face of anorexia. We live in the world of 2x wide women and pregnant bellied men, so any thing on the low side look odd to us.

She is lovely in #2, just before the tree upper left crushed her... that tree is not part of the photo and should be disappeared by cloning.

#1 Really great, love the socks/hair framing [clean her sock of debris with clone]. Your composition is an X of diagonals. Crop to the 3 main elements the greenery in front lower left, the girl/tree lower left to upper right diagonal element, and the zodiac symbol on the back rock. Great composition once you crop out most of the green on left and clone out the rest. You end up with an X composition.

In my eye buckwheat, your in nature photos are not Robeng's in studio ... your photos stand in a different venue stand tall on their own. When Robeng gets back with his oriental lady photos he will be impressed with your work and may copy in part especially the black socks.

Scenery is excellent and quality of photo is good but I have a problem with the pose in the first shot. I would think it might be better if she were not square to the camera. A side view with a slight twist to her upper body. Don't emphasize how thin she is and cover most of the ribs with her shirt.

2nd shot is better for me but remember here I am talking about art and it's only in the eye of the ...............

Some one should something, but not just for the sake of posting.

Thanks for your comments. I always look forward to your critiques, and it is true that comparing mine to Robeng's is a case of apples to oranges. As seldom as I shoot, and although this is not one of my later shoots, I do feel like I am growing.
