Thanks for critique and comments.

2nd and last one are cool
2nd one in particular has nice complimenting tones although shoting up and getting that foreshortening may work for that sort of dramatic shot but for fashion images no distortion is preferred

the background in the 3rd doesnt work quite as well as the other ones but i can see what you were trying to do

The second is good, Alex.

Once again, I'd boost those reds as she's looking a bit mannish here and I'd clean up the flash being bounced on her cheek in the last one. Just clone some skin in a different layer and decrease the opacity of the layer a bit, that way it'll be still there with some realism but less noticeable.

I'd also pull out a bit more detail with feathering and curves from the top one on the right side as her hair almost complete blends with the black in the shadows of the alley.

Alex nice images. When I saw the heading I thought your nan (grandmother) so was surprised at how young she is

Thanks Wendell, Leigh and Glen for your comments and suggestions.

Leigh - excellent suggestions. Will try them out.

Cheers
Alex

I think #3 might work better if she was facing in rather than out - if you know what I mean. She pulls me in the opposite direction to the background.

Number 1 for me - although i would bring some detail in the shadows out, her black jacket gets lost in the shadows - nice work!
