Raspberries

This really deserves the view larger experience. The textures are suffocating. I quite like how she is enveloped by the rich tones of raspberry bush and the great pop in the contrast of her sweater and hair. Those straggles of hair are priceless. and the sincerity of the glance back to camera. A dear and lovely shot Frank. Thank you so much for sharing.

thanks for your nice comments on this one. You know I appreciate your views and pictures a lot. I have recently downloaded Adobe Lightroom (Beta 4 version), which is a new sophisticated raw converter. Although most of the time it completely blocks my computer, it is excellent in rendering color to B/W and getting the contrast you need for the picture.

this is great!

superb scene, charming, wonderful tones and a great sense of presence. If I could shoot like this I'd quit my day job.

Thanks for your appreciative comments. If you know of a country where I could make a living doing shots like these, just let me know...
