Bruce, I liked both for different reasons.
The first is an elegant, light, high key image which requires far too much knowledge&skill to shoot this good. The viewer has to catch the "flying" figure before she leaves the frame... Ethereal is the word that comes to my mind. The second, which appeals to me more, is like a painting. Can be oil or even watercolor. The composition is that of a perfect combination of static/rigid elements (rectangles) and beautifully dynamic, curving figure. I can imagine the painter looking at this one finally and saying, "done!". The figure is certainly not flying but is not heavy either. The dominant feeling is, to me, fragility. Thank you very much for producing these and sharing them with us.
