I guess I've posted these elsewhere, so sorry for the X-posting, but I never put them anyplace where they might be critiqued so I figured I'd put them here. Cheers.

I like that first one, but that damn 4-wheeler in the BG is distracting from the subject.

Ugh I know... I wanted to reshoot it but it was all about the candid catch-the-stone-in-motion moment.

it's totally photoshopable...especially since its in the blurred background.

I disagree on two levels
a) I don't think it is distracting; and
b) I don't like using photoshop to remove major items, just spots, scratches, etc. This is just my personal opinion, but I like a little reality to the photography.

i like them both.
I dont think the 4-wheeler is mush distracting. Only after your eye is done looking at the subject first and wanders into the background do you notice it.
I like how the sun touches her face and brings out her facial features in the second one. Also I like how she is looking right at the camera. Real nice.
