The first one is excellent, but the second is magical!

Even thou I prefer the first one as an standing alone image, the second one is perfect for the work at hand. The wind is part of the charm :)

Thanks Gary. I had a couple of similar images - hence the different treatment.
Bjørn - no they havent - but I dont release images until paid - should be this week when the Flash Drive is collected.

Hopefully it goes well for you, and them.

Image 2 is one of those images that remjnds me I still have a lot of creative avenues to explore with photography.  I'm sure if I had been behind the camera, it would have came out less unique.  I appreciate the inspiration!

Tristin - I dont go into a shoot thinking I can fix whatever in post. I dont even think how I am going to edit it at the best of times. (not consciously anyway) Sometimes I just shoot a crap image (okey more than sometimes) but I have found that 50% on my image depends on Editing, and the crap shot turns into something nice. I don't shoot in a journalistic style - so I do rely on Editing without thinking about it. Its part of my style.  Don't know if that makes sense.

Sometimes we are afraid to "play" in editing - but be aware that your (anyone's) images aren't instantly recognisable as those with all the "filters" (eg NIK) I see that too often.  Some people can only edit into HDR - and every single photo looks the same.
