What makes these two photographs so stunning?

[Photo Marksman]

Please look at these two photographs, can anyone please tell me whether they think that there was any post processing and how they think such stunning images were achieved? This is pure magic to me.

Are you serious? I find these two pictures captivating.

DING DING DING!! Is that your FINAL answer? You are correct.

Oh and you'd best take those pics down before a mod gets in here and lays down the ban hammer.

I'm only joking, mods here are more rare than unicorns...

Just so you know. Your not supposed to post other togs work, just links so you might (probably) get your hand slapped.

First one is nothing special to me while I do enjoy the second.it looks slightly overexposed on purpose.

 

[Photo Marksman]

Done, I removed the images and put some links. The second one just has a high ISO then? You don't think there was post processing?

I heard a tale of a mod appearing in a thread, but by the time I arrived, alas, it had disappeared...:er:

I like them. The girl on the dock is my favorite. A good subject is an integral part of a good photo. Join MM and find some amateur models to work with.

 

[xjoewhitex]

Theres no need to wish, just go out and shoot. The first set of pictures you linked were somewhat boring but I liked the second group, good find.

 

[dxqcanada]

First of all you should tell us what you like about the images ... then maybe we can tell you how that effect is done.

 

[Garbz]

Both are boring to me.

This should be a valuable lesson in art. People have widely different tastes.

 

[kundalini]

The first one looks like she's being choked by a tiny pair of mittens and the stubbles have gotta hurt in the second.

Love the last one you linked here even if her uneven skin tone in the hands bugs me the more I look at it. All the others are ok but i don't find them standout. Thanks for sharing.
