I too see these pageant pics as more the recording of an event than
artistic photography. Your first effort is much better, although as I
said, I found the texture unpleasant. I think the concept is sound.
Perhaps a different texture would be more effective and pleasing.

Glen,
The 'legs' shot wasn't really to my taste either. I can see what
you're aiming for with it, but I don't feel it worked. The texture
overlay didn't quite push the legs into the abstraction of form and
shape that I think you were after, not for me anyway, but brought them
close to the edge where they become more a grotesquerie than the
light-sculpture I think you were after.
Actually, rendered into a high-contrast B&W, I think it does better.
Pushes it that one level of abstraction further.

I'm interested to know whether people prefer these candid images, or
the artistic images I first posted? Also, please tell me why you
prefer the one you do.
Well, these two seem to be just snapshots of a friend to me. I'm not
into the beauty pageant/glamor thing.
