A true masterpiece.

This is an excellent photograph. Excellent details, composition and 100% natural color tones! Great job

One of the nicest photos seen in a while. Aptly titled.

Good composition, and just as little sharpness as one would expect from 800 speed film. Bit lacking in shadow details.

Would not call this techinically perfect, but this is a remarkable shot and a definite attention-grabber!

 

BTW, welcome back after a long hiatus Joseph, I have no idea where you had disappeared after posting that fantastic series of coyote shots but am glad to see you back with a bunch of really good photos!

You can't get wrong with portraits.

I like the texture in the background and the soft shadows. A bit too centered (try an off-center and tighter crop) and lose a bit of the foregound. Nicely done still.

You seem to have shot this from a little higher than her eye-level. Shot from a little lower and a bit more texture on the hair -- this would be a killer portrait!

 

As ever -- stunning "ease" and natural look. Your models sure make your job easy, Richard.

Unfortunately I think this photo is poorly executed.

 

What is your main subject of interest -- the pair of flowers or the insect? If you wanted to concentrate on the flowers (with the insect), they should have been more in focus and not truncated.

 

 

If it were it be the insect, it should have been assigned due prominence by way of higher magnification. This photo does not work for me.

Now I can see why you cropped it. The crop looks better.

I have worked at minimizing the grain a little bit, wish I could do a better job at this ...

I like it a lot. Obviously -- apart from the colored eyes.

 

Your photographs have an air of innocence and a strangely natural, uninhibited look that I particularly find very appealing. Not sure if I made sense here ...

The composition is a bit too tight. If you backed away a little bit the photo would be even better.

 

Nice shot nevertheless. You have captured a natural expression quite beautifully.

 

In general, I like your portrait work quite a bit.

Perfectly done

Wonderfully, wonderfully captured!

Terrific composition.

This is all very good but any new chix photos? Please pardon if I sound lewd ;)

 

Whenever I see you post something new (you in my favorites) I run to see what you posted ...

Even more brilliant shot!

Brilliant shot!

I face much the same problem as you do -- identifying the critters I photograph.

 

Nice shot BTW

Magnificiant

Immense height and depth. Very well done

I would love it if the hair was not truncated. This is a brilliant, brilliant photo Richard. Aptly titled. Very nice lighting. This is one of those portraits that do not need eye contact with the viewer to have an impact. Very well done.

Hmmm, intriguing style and fascinating "back" ...

 

Isn't Velvia 50 a pig to scan for shadow details? I can imagine how your original slide looks like on the light-table.

A bit too much textureless black to the left. Would be even more pleasing if composed off center
