I made some revisions to my picture from the challenge. Andy gave some constructive criticism, so I took it to heart and learned from it. I cropped the shot two different ways for better composition and changed the selective color to a more appropriate place. I think this draws the focus to the hands. Any comments?

And the last one.... Pretty Toes

The girls insisted I take this one. They were so excited to show off their work. One foot belonged to a customer and the other was the foot of one of the Vietnamese girls. I'm going to order prints and bring them in to the salon. I think the girls will be thrilled. :D

Does anyone have any constructive criticism before I get prints? Can they be made better? Should I cut out the borders before ordering prints or leave them on? :dunno

I like the horizontal first manicure better than the other crop. I love the change in where you put the color.
I really love the shot of the toes. Great picture of very good work.

I have no idea about framing. I seem to be kind of out of it in that area, I like frames online, don't know about in making a print. I have only ordered from Shutterfly last year and before, they have borders to play with, I often do put a white border on the picture.
