I really like the full body images on black background - but this close up on white struck me differently. More sensual and personal - the closeness of the bodies to the viewer. Very fine work.

Absolutely superb interpretation - beautiful. I like that you went with a younger Madonna and child (more in keeping with what I learned in Catholic school:-). Beautiful treatment. Obvious references to a Renaissance aesthetic without pandering or overdoing it - and modern without being distracting. Formally strongly composed.

Perfect.

Very cool image and composition and color. Wonderful macro work - this would be very intense printed large!

I like this image - unconventional pose. Love the hair and eyes. Something 20's and silent film about it (broad expressiveness) - except in color.

I like the tight framing - it draws one's attention to the sensuous lips. It would be nice to have a catchlight in her right eye (it looks darker than her left eye).

This image jumps out at me - the dreaminess, the tones, the tension and fun. Very cool treatment and composition.

A beautiful interpretation. Let me add - a most striking image. It keeps coming back to me as I look at other images on photo.net tonight.

Hey Marla - this was my favorite orchid I shot in this phase of my life. The shots were done on 4x5 slide film - somewhere around here (?) I have a 40" x 50" Fujicolor print off a Lightjet printer of this image. The detail is intense.

The reason I like this best is the graceful lines of the stems supporting the flowers - the one blooming and swooping the other a more vertical graceful curve. I spent hours in an orchid store over a few weeks looking at the flowers as they came in and matching them to pots (this one chosen to emphasize the vertical composition and echo the graceful curves).

I loved the color and shape of the leaves also.

Come to think of it - I can use that print for something - I wonder where I put it?

The Hello Kitty tea pot throws it over the top! Love it.

Nicely done - and lit - didn't look at the details - do you describe how you lit the scene?

Somewhere between Victorian innocence and Raphaelistic angelicism. The flash of the peacock's feather against the skin pale is beautiful.

The church had massive bronze carved doors with swirling

putti.

Liked the intersecting lines - best framing I could achieve. Any suggestions?

Love the tones and the composition - need to get myself a white dog:-)

Great concept and image. Extremely sharp, beautiful skin, and great lighting.

A dark portrait in near blue (I was blending gels in a couple lights - one gridded boomed

overhead, other in spotlight).

Playing with gel'ed, gridded hairlight, key spot, fabrics.

Such a cutie.

Yes - it has an Art Deco look to it. Well executed. Love the body shape.

Playing with three lights (red gel'ed spot, blue gel'ed gridded 11" reflector backlight, and 11"

reflector fill). Did about 30 shots looking for interesting water patterns.

I agree - a very interesting treatment to a strong composition. Some elements in it are enigmatic to me.

Spotlight key and fill with bounce off umbrella.

A second poster for the flute playing student's recital. 60's minidress and headband to break

out of "performing gown" convention.

I had a homework assignment to shoot a "magazine cover" - I was shooting a woman to do

some posters for her recital so I shot images for my homework. I had fun coming up with the

article titles. And the overall approach of flute as sword.

It is for an actual recital (thanks for poking around folder!)

I like this one also. It was a 60's style minidress I had around - and I wanted to break the formality of the gown she would normally wear.

She has copies of each of the posters - so she is going with four versions.
