I really like the second one. The dof is about perfect for me, and I love the composition, with the flowers in there. Her smile is so natural and unaffected. The first one is a nice shot, but there's something about her facial expression that seems just the teeniest bit disquieting to me - not a big thing, but it seems to be just a bit forced. I'm not saying it ~is~ forced, just that it looks that way to me. Still, a lovely shot. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
