the first one should be in This months "Elements in Style" exercise as it would be the first conforming entry and you could pick next months topic.

Contre-jour for sure :)

She was between me and the sun - I just dialled in some negative exposure compensation to make her a silhouette :)

Firsty, it was actually taken last month, so I don't think it qualifies. Will definitely be participating in this month's ES though :D

The first one is magnificent, no doubts.

But I like the second one, it tells a story of Kris intently looking for that next shot on a nice afternoon, finger poised on the shutter release ;)

First is excellent...second shot, your subject looks to limp/placid. You need to get her animated in order to get some interesting lines and negative spaces in the image. A hand on her hip and a stance with attitude would have worked wonders. I do love the light and background treatment.

Love the first and the second Patrick well done, and credit to Kris for providing the modelling. I assume the second was a candid ? If not then as Matt said you could bring more of a dynamic feel to it, with a slightly more dramatic pose.
