I like the framing and composition of the first two as well. However, I
think in this case that the grain is too harsh and prominent. It
renders the flesh tones unpleasant. Since detail isn't critical here, a
little gaussian blur might make these much more attractive.

Hi Rick,
I like the first two... both are very nice and I would hope that the
musician would ask you for prints of them. Well done!
The third composition, pardon me for saying, makes her look a little
like a caged animal... it feels like she's about to pick up that harp
and jam it down my throat. It may be the way the strings intersect
her eyes and teeth. :)

Last year, I posted a photo of a harpist friend along
with some other shots from a musical soiree. This
year I tried a few more, with a bit more light on the
subject.
