This girl was part of a dance troup that I was fortunate to see in

America earlier this year, and this picture is part of a set of three

that have been posted as a panel.

I am glad that I tried different exposures whilst shooting this

series as many were too blurred or I missed the action completely.

This picture though sums up (as much as a still image can) the vigour

and abandonment with which she danced, and I have good memories of

the time I saw her.

Your comments on the composition and "timing" would be appreciated.

Classically "Griffin" but there is one area I think is less than perfect. Hayleys left arm is a bit overexposed and the bend in it looks strange. If this highlight were to be burnt in it might not draw the eye to it.

Oh, and by the way ..............she was looking at me..........

Naked in a graveyard at night ..................must be nuts !!!

Dare I say "Eye Catching"......sorry. I really like this picture as soon as I clapped eyes on it (sorry again)A simple idea well captured and composed. For me the bottom right is a little over exposed loosing some detail. (perhaps the original is better)The picture is ageless and sexless (my guess is female 26)

This is a model I used only once, so sad to have lost touch. Your

comments please

This was taken with Fuji MX2900 digital in his front room, both

images were cut and blended using photoshop and an image taken a Kew

was added for a backdrop

This picture was born in Key Largo and finished in England. It has

done quite well in competition and although I do not make my living

from photography this image has sold very well.

Hazel is a stunning model and fun to work with. Lighting was tricky

and I did not get the result I wanted right off the bat, so Photoshop

was used to give it a little more. I know that might upset the

purists but I strive to acheive an image which is sometimes beyond my

photographic capabilities, so I call on my other talents to help me

create, as you will see from my other works (if you are interested)

I do not set out to misslead only to acheive my goal using whatever

it takes. The skill is knowing how and when to stop. This is a skill

I hope I demonstrate.

Now I wonder who's book you have been reading?

Wish I had taken it.

I know your work well now and this is so "Howie". Great composition in the thirds, and the model looking out, breaking the rules "again" and getting away with it, just brilliant. Keep it up.
