So I say, "Take your photo?" So she says, "Me? Why?" So I say, "You've got a great smile!" So she says, "No! Really?" Smiles shyly. Click.

Advice and critiques welcome. I cropped square because of a busy

background in the direction that she is looking towards. Does it work?

Hi Garry. Very, very nice spontaneous catch ... Ray.

Thanks so much Ray.

It does feel a bit hemmed in with that crop.. Pretty subject.. pretty smile.. and I like the lighting. You could try a b&w conversion and blur out the busy stuff in front.. In any case.. a nice spontaneous shot.

Thanks Haig. Another colleague by the way!

Lovely portrait!

Thanks Vladimir.

Beautiful and creative work. Bravo. Michael.

Thanks Michael!

I can see why you are always in trouble.. any vacancies around?

Ha! Haig, I am in the process of hiring right now - just spell out your measurements and send a full length shot of yourself in a bikini. Concerning your ability to teach - well, we'll chat about that pending administrative approval of the first step!

Uh Belle, if you read these comments, I hope you know I am joking!

Are you sure?

Belle, if you are reading this, would you please knock some sense into him! sheeeesh :-)

Ha ha, Haig, Belle is the subject of the photo, just in case you ever get to meet my wife. Calling my wife Belle would only complicate things!!

She is a such beautiful girl and this smile is so warm, a little be shy, and cute.

Just a wonderful photo. I wish that i can see another nice photo in your blog.

She does have a nice smile. Well done!

Thank you Tony.
