Excellent Lighting. Bold and yet classical. I really like this one.

If they are Ladybugs does that make them lesbians??  :)

 

Absolutely wonderful!

Was this in Strafford,MO?

Ok, this is going into "My Favorites". I don't know if this was picture number 9996 or if you had a more scientific way of triggering the camera but either way it's a great shot.

 

That means so much more coming from a photographer of your caliber.

Maybe a polarizing filter to cut the highlights.

Seems like it has been a while since you posted anything new, glad to see some new work.

Sally:

   It is in the north east corner of Wyoming, near Mount Rushmore, south Dakota.  Thanks for the advice about Cebu.

I'm not sure what the story is but this picture has to have a story.  The picture is excellent but the elements of the picture make it even more.

Or something very close to that.

I wish that I were there. Here in Missouri we're expecting up to a foot of snow tonight.

What a great portrait. You have captured so much of his personality.

When and where was this taken?

I like these. They are different and interesting.

I don’t comment on your work very often. Mainly because you are so far above me in ability. Your painting is beautiful and inspired, and as a photographer your skill ranks with the best. Great work and please continue to inspire the rest of us.

The clouds in the background, the dynamic feeling of movement, the framing of the picture, the focus, all this makes for an excellent picture.

Great job on a very difficult shot.

The eye contact is different, the hand position is different, the angle to the camera is different, the weight distribution on her feet is different.... Two very different pictures, both very good. I prefer this one.

Maybe it should be Square knot or Grannie.

I would bring out the green saturation to make the vegetation stand out against the volcanic rock. Maybe, raise the contrast to make the rock stand out.

Thank you.

Thank you.
