Decided to accept and run with the witch theme and pay homage to one of my favorite television shows of all time "Lost"

her dress is a lack hole absorbing all details. Think carefully about clothing choices and how lighting will effect how the come out in the end.

#2 i dont care for the feeling of a chair out there in the woods.

but #1.. is HOT. i love everything about that photo. i dont know what more experienced folks will say, but i love the color of the sky, the outfit, the sun, the pose. everything.

Is there any tonemapping/HDR here? Apart from that I agree with DiskoJoe about the clothing

For some reason, #1 make me think of Blair Witch project.... Not in a bad way though! My biggest complaint is that with the way the sleeve falls off of her arm.... it creates a huge highlight that just draws the eye away from her face...

Are these HDRs?

I don't care for the compositionin number 2, and they both seem a touch underexposed.

The model, location, and time of day are great. Possibly moving the sun directly behind the model could help too. I find my eyes drawn to the sun.

Good job in the end.

Thanks for all the comments so far! No they are not HDR's but i suppose i did style them after an HDR image. I totally see that her dress is too dark since it's been mentioned and yes it is distracting Thanks for the tip!! Keep the comments coming!!

sorry, yeah i got a vampirish witchish feeling from it.

on the plus side, the model is much more attractive than bella.

Her skirt is black yeah but there is still detail in it, it doesn't bother me at all.

it bugs me that the smoke does not line up in the first one. it hits at her low back so i expect it to wrap around her hip but instead it moved up somehow.
