Images from LA LA Land

Just back from another trip,here is the latest, quite a contrast from

what I usually shoot,but I enjoyed the circus.

Agree, this is contrast, fantastic portrait, great colors and details.

This is a real great portrait with very good light sharp details and 'fantasy' makeup (that did not hide age). Fantasy is always better than reality to relax. <P>  Tilted doorway bothers me.  Regards, ifti.

Dear Birte,

if i was mean (which i am not) i would say there is not much departure between this shot and some of your parrot shots...

Nice candid shot. Interesting profile and expression.  

Glad to see you back. Looking forward to see more of your "human zoo" images.  Regards - michel

Great street portrait capture! Yes LA can be quite the zoo- I lived there for a while and still miss it- great city! Well done!

Unique and interesting casual shot...

Birte, I am with Michel :-)

perfectly done, a very nice natural light. great personality on that proud woman... i never saw before the lipstick till the hairs....

excellent profile portrait, candid i'm sure, of a woman of great character and assurance... i doubt there could have been a better composition

Birte, I love it—I hope she does too. 

Birte, absolutely eye-catching__unusual hair style, make-up, attitude, expression__really impressive!    Best regards 7!

Very nice captured, best regards...Rajinder

Great capture, Birte ... and great title also !! You made me laugh ... A hug

I dont know why , but when I saw this picture the first thing that came up in my mind was an Atlantic Puffin. Well, at least they are both funny.

cheers, hans

So much been said here and all been well deserved.

I too fid your exposure is so well balanced and did bring out all of the elements in a great shape, the face is so well details and comes with very fine skin tone along with a sort of a surprised expression on the lady's face which add to the outstanding composition of this fine work.

The background been blurred in such manner is also a wonderful credit adding to the quality here and it is superbly separating the model head and her pretty colored hair.

Thank you my friend for sharing such a well captured out door portrait work and wishing you all of the best.

Very different from your usual images, but nonetheless fascinating and well produced. The expression made me smile, the interpretations are endless, but I'm thinking she just stood in something nasty.

Great touch of humour!

Best Regards

Alf
