Frank,
The BW is lovely. Very well done. I like intimate photos as if you are having a conversation.
I can almost hear you direct the beautiful lady to move her head/neck/hand...
#2 is distant..stage managed. she has to it. Technically a good capture...more from mortal combat, then the soft,seductive,intimate capture in #1.
But then again, what do I know about women.
My analogy...#1, my MP..quiet,seductive,feel it there,pure silk..#2 D300..active,vibrant, ready for
action, take 'em on!
Regards.
