Had a short shoot with the fantastic Becky today and these are a couple of quick edits.
Any comments welcome, in particular whether they are worthy of their place in the glamour section of my port.

Sorry but I don't think they are very good at all

might be just me but both would be better just as cropped in headshots for me. particularly the first one as the lighting lacks any kind of mood.
with the second one the backlighting is lovely but the plants compete for attention too much. this could be cropped half length and look much better.

I can't help looking at the flowers in the second one which is a shame because the pose and the lighting look really good.
It was broken when I got here

Thanks very much for all the feedback.

On second one I confess I had my doubts about the flowers when I was setting up, but I had in mind a B&W conversion and didn't think the colour would be an issue. However, I was not very keen on black & white version and preferred colour. Will try desaturating the flowers to see if that helps.

Andy, when you say "crop half-length" do you mean half width or half-height?
Have tried a few different ideas on the crop but can't seem to make it work on this shot.
