At least, that's what these 2 shots make me think off .....

Lani again

love the first one Rel

Yeah agree rel, I like em both, the first one is a cracker...

Baz

Very aptly named Rel.. she almost looks like she's been stood up.. I lurve pictures that tell a story!!

Nice!! Luv the bokeh in #2

your shallow focus control is lovely
and the poses in both show some incipent drama
which is makes them extra special

it makes you wonder if shes waiting for a waiter or someone special

Nice shots, I actually prefer the similiar one from the other thread, mainly due to the smile! however these have quite a different mood, the non-smiling face and the empty wine glasses really creates a scene, as mentioned, very apt for your title. My only suggestion on the first would have been to include the elbow, maybe a landscape shot, cropped to square? anyway, easy to say in hindsight.

#1 is really nice and tells a story, probably a slightly different story to each viewer which I think is a good thing. TO me it feels like she just laid eyes on her date who's late with no notice and her initial relief is giving way to some anger.

Either way, I think it's great and love the shallow DOF and great control to get the model in focus nicely.

Again #1 is terrific, beautifully scripted(or so it seems) and technically executed. Great image!
cheers
