Form echoing form in both of them.
Nice!

Hi Jennifer,

Unusually, this time I prefer your landscape. The second shot just looks a mess to me.

Sorry, but there you go.

These are both very nice.

The second one's a bit disconcerting, since it's a disaster as a "picture of a girl" but as an exercise in form it's quite nice, and it has a little touch of naughty and erotic thrown in, which kind of conflicts with the "this is not a picture of a girl but an exercise in form".

Suffice it to say, my reaction to the second one is complex, but overall I quite like it.

The first one is nice, but not complex at all, and I find it more of a good example of an overdone form without much new to say. But, still nice to look at and very very pleasing.

I more or less agree with amolitor.  Another possible title for the second one is Personal Space.  I like how the bench and wall , etc., seem one with the picture plane and or frame.  She helps by alining her leg with the edge and putting her head tangent to it.  Or did you do that.
