Wow! My Oldest dd is sitting here with me and looking at your pics and keeps saying hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmm. LOL.
I like it, however the shadow in the 2nd pic is kinda distracting, and the last pic kinda has a glow around the person which is kinda neat considering, was that done in HD?

I like the processing on number 2 the best. It has the graphic novel look to that is appealing for this theme of image. I guess you are trying to make her glow in number four, but for those who mask with photoshop, it might look like incomplete processing along the edges. For a themed shoot, I would try to get them to look a little more consistent in the processing so they all look like they are from the same set. A difficult task, I know.

Thanks ... yes the glowing halo around Sarah on #5 was deliberately done in post, sounds like I should have made it a bit more obvious so it didn't look accidental!

Sassy ... any particular element or thing about the shadow you find distracting? I love how the shadier area is on her face, but perhaps not so great on the door ...

Hmmm, oldmacman you've given me the idea to try to shoot a proper story/sequence like this all with the same final look/feel ... definitely something to add to my project list ...
