 This is Melissa George for Lunneys Jewelry.

I really like this picture. The composition works because the camera is slightly titled and she scooted down. I like her facial expression and what's going on in the background. I can see the paparazzi in the background and it looks like she wants nothing to do with them. She really stands out from the background. The background is darker, but you can still see the paparazzi in the background. This picture tells a story.

 This is Delia in Tuscany

I can't tell if this picture is Photoshopped or if it's real. I looks like her head got cut off and is floating in the water. It looks like their is a small white glow around her neck. It doesn't look natural. I can't tell if that's her body underneath water or not. Her face is gorgeous. I like how her head is titled and that she isn't looking straight at the camera, but the rest of the picture looks very fake. If this is non-Photoshop photo I would take it at different angle or have her in the water more or out of the water more. Right now her head looks like it is getting cut off.  http://www.douglaskirklandphotography.com/#/Portfolio/Beauty/14/
