Pose is good..smile looks a little tense....and I think If there were some separation from her and the background it would look better....

On the right track for sure....

Nice comp.....and detail...

If it were me....(and it's not)...I would do a little "painting with light" on the eyes...to bring up the detail....

Congrats...

I like the concept...and think it was well executed...

If I had to pick something...if the background were a bit more blurred and the model were a bit sharper it might have a more realistic feel....Just an opinion of course....

Congrats on thinkin' outside the box

I like the brown one due to the continuity in the color scheme.....However the contrast in red just jumps out and says pick me.....

I think the real question is which one do you like.....

Glad to see you took the opportunity to your advantage...The tracks lead right to the mountains so for me the perspective is perfect...tones are good....

The only thing I find a bit distracting...the electric poles to the left....My eye keeps getting caught on the 1st one....I think I would have cloned them out.

Otherwise well done and Congrats....

Cool composite...love the post work...could be right out of a magazine

I like the comp....

I would do a curves adjustment to give the image a bit more "Pop"

Well done...

B & W conversion is good...tones and contrast are excellent...

If I had to nit pick something....the mountain in the back seems to fade off in a odd tone (to the right)...I might add a thin (but cliche') vignette at a low opacity to keep the eye more focused on the center of the image. Or do a curves adjustment mask and paint it a bit darker....Just an opinion of course.

Congrats

Comp is good could just use a bit of tweaking...to taste of course....

From shoulder of the boy on the right down his arm is a bit soft....so it looks unnatural and would be obvious in print.....also there should some shadow on the bear behind his arm to make it look like the shot was done at once....

This is a tricky game to play....but with some practice you'll get there.

I do quiet a few digital back drops and it has taken hours of practice to make them look like it the background was used in the shot.

Nice for a first go....Doesn't look over cooked (although I like that look sometimes)...

I would have adjusted the curves up just a bit...and maybe used a layer mask to shed a bit more light around the rocks and or trees....

I also like the center comp as the water meeting the beach leads my eyes up to the rock and trees.

This was once a busy place...the trains came through here on their way to Casper.....

Here's a link to some info.....
