Hey Eleen,
Firstly Welcome back :)
great shot of these two pretty girls,
good framing,
Well if I were u, would have used 1-2 stop more on F. as the girl on the right is a little blur, great shot never the less.
great colours and detail, the eyes are really beautiful with the reflections within them :)
Cheers N Congratz,
Excellent Portrait,

Hi Eleen, welcome back ;o)).
Ok, first the bad news: DoF was a bit too shallow, as Salinas face is out of focus. Also, I think you should have kept all the text out of the portrait, 'cause I really find it disturbing. And I really think you should have left in their ears entirely... it looks a bit weird like this.

So, that's that ;o). What I do like is their pose, and the reflections in Evonnes left eye.
TFS these beauties with us ;o)

Good to see your photo and your name again on TL, Eleen! Will you have more time now for TL? Welcome back.

The face on the left is very nicely exposed and super sharp. But why such a narrow depth of field? The face on the right is blurry. I get the feeling that she is a billboard beside a live model and the billboard feel is strengthened by the leterrings on her side. Another improvemnt you can do is to brush off some of the sheen on the skin and lips of the left person. The photo is very well composed and properly exposed.

Regards,
Andre'

Hi Eleen, good to see you back and in good company ;-)
It must have been a "splendid evening out"...
I like your compo, filling the frame very well and the two rather large heads leaving no space for distraction. The golden glint in Evonne's eye is catching, the slight smile of Salina a bit mysterious and inviting. The dark bands on top and bottom enhance the effect. The final result reminded me of adds in asean magazines, so I guess it isn't bad at all ;-)
I was tempted to spend a few minutes on a workshop although my bed is calling (shouting ;-) )
C U around, TFS

Nice to see you again Eleen, nicely composed portrait. The person on the right is slightly out of focus. This could be fixed with a smaller aperture. Unless of course you planned it to be out of focus. Still a terrific effort, reminds me of a magazine shot.

Hi Eleen, just quickly browsing during my lunchtime. Beautiful capture of these two beauties - will check your website tonight.

Hope all is well with you,

Marleen

Nice to see you posting again Eleen. Nice portrait of your friends. How about adding some blur to the other lady which will put more emphasis on the focused one. They are very pretty girls indeed.

first of all..welcome back to Treklens...

overall..nice attempt on model portrait / or lenglui-photography.... good luck to you and hope to see mroe from you..

There is no better boost for one's profile than appearing on the welcome page of TL.
All I can say would be in reflection of the other expert advise offered ... aperture, mostly.
But I also wish that they'd both been looking in the same direction - i.e. at the camera. It just feels a little unsettling. But otherwise - beautiful, beautiful! TFS. Points to come.

Hi Eleen,
