Contrast II

First of all I'd like to say this is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with your new camera. (congrats again <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/> )

Beautiful photos both this one and the 1st one in this series. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

It is obvious you develop a connection with your models since you're getting such real emotions and such good poses.

Her outfit looks very clean, almost sterile compared to the environment around her - a nice touch and yet another element that adds contrast.
It's also interesting that you've chosen to contrast, not only the colors and "cleanliness" (I couldn't find a better word for it), poses as well.

In my opinion this looks very good and thought-through in just about every aspect.

Even though basing photos on contrasts has been done a whole lot before, I feel this series is quite refreshing, relaxing and pleasing to look at.

There is some slight chromatic aberration on the bushes making them and certain elements look somewhat soft, but they aren't the main focus at all, so it is simply nitpicking.

One last thing: I can see some repeating patterns in the grass - was there something that needed to be cloned out?
