Re: My Girls

I also like both of them. The only thing I would do is brighten the eye on the second image a bit to brighten it.

Re: My Girls

I like the first one Emile and the colour is good, this makes me wonder why your other beach image has that strange colour caste to it.

Re: My Girls

I agree with others comments, these have much better colour. If you use cokin or cheaper ND filters for a very long exposure, they can create a colour cast. I use them, but I know their limitations.

Re: My Girls

Nice, but I would of brighten only the eye (white part & blue) up the contrast/saturation to give depth and sparkle.
