A good beginning, but the technical shortcomings remind me of the same difficulties I faced when making the changeover from film to digital in my own work. Over-sharpening in the foreground detracts rather than adds, while insufficient depth of field makes it so that the background figure is not a cohesive part of the image as a whole. That diagonal black line does not help things. Good framing -- but needs more attention to the composition as a finished whole, I would say.

I am sorry but this doesnt work for me. The woman in the foreground looks like a mannequin, and the girl in the background is too out of focus. Perhaps if you softend the redhead in the foreground and sharpened, just a little, in the background it might acheive the effect you were looking for imhop

I may be way wrong here, but I think the woman in the foreground IS a manequin.....

Hand looks completely plastic there are no wrinkles at the joints, no pores, and the specular shine just doesn't look like skin. Her head also has no pores, no wrinkling, no obvious hair follicles, and I swear that's a wig...
