awesome job. Way to rock the photography world. I especially love the second one. The subtle texture and lighting on her skin just make me want to sink into the photograph. Once again, way to go.

I thought 'Share Your Shots' is where I should post them, as I wanted to share my success. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks

If you post in Share Your Shots, you have to abide by the rules and pick two shots. Since all your shots are of people and have been judged successful, it fits better here where three shots is fine.
