Great use of light.

Love the mood here...wonder what she will find in the darkness....

Ray, I like both images, however, I personally found the un-cloned one more interesting, the hint of the 2nd person in the dark created a very special feeling to the photo. Cheers Frank.

Stunning image Ray. Great use of dark and light

Ray, I am not sure which one I like the most. They are both good. The woman on her own is a striking and nicely composed image, but I also like the mystery of the other person in the shadows.

Excellent

This one is better. It is less distracting, has more impact.

Much better... More mysterious!

Much better.

Thats better, you get a better contrast with less distraction, cool capture.

Quite striking. I doubt that we will ever see her again! ;-)
