Dear Mike,

I just have to comment on your wonderful options here. You have two excellent opportunities. I see very much how you use your own awareness of the camera's limitations and refuse to be a slave to it. As a matter of fact, the camera never, ever tells the truth. You have to tell yours.

As I look at the two options posted, I am struck by the different, and equally strong, impressions I get about your (gorgeous model, BTW) subject. I am compelled to gaze back at her in a very inviting way in the first option. In the second, I feel that I must stand at bay. I like the idea of starting out with a resource image that has impact.

It is a pleasure to see your work and read your very gracious comments.
