#2 wins 12 to 8 and it makes me very happy : imho #1 is maybe more eye catching and shows everything with her beautiful eyes looking straight forward at the camera, while #2 is more mysterious, we wonder what Laurie is thinking about and the more pastel colours do increase this feeling of sensibility and sensitivity. I am glad that the match was well balanced as I like both too, but even happier that sensibility has won over straight beauty.

More delicate expression
Both are lovely portraits...

any 'choice' depends on how the photo will be used, what context, etc. I went as far as converting both to b&w to help visualize the portraits at a basic level... Personal choice would be the side view... Casey .
Need some help.

I've been trying to understand photography as art. For a long time. I don't know what to look for. To me, these are all great photos. I'm happy with the photos my phone takes. I get it that some of this is personal preference etc. But what am I supposed t...

As a fellow flรขneur you surely have time to observe society, and that's part of the process. Photograph as "art" is only a small part, but let's look at the whole. As a side note, many critics tend to be pushing their own agenda... beware the critic beari...

I feel strongly both ways. You choose for me.
Yes, it's a philosophical thing - what and how much to edit

I change my photos all the time because I am mostly taking outdoors shots and I tend to remove street signs, litter, things like that which draw the eye away from the point of the image. I'm not that interested in the "reality" of litter or potholes. It m...
Photo 2
By: Jurry : November 13th, 2020-04:57
Both are great but photo 2 to me is the winner because of: a) The skin tone on photo 1 has either bit too much makeup or too much editing (which some like a lot, I personally favor more natural skin tones) b) I could be wrong but to me, it looks as if I c...
Many thanks for your kind words
