timeless!

moody...would have like to see more of subject, but the aesthetics here are excellent.

fine portrait. simple with good DOF and nice composition!

When I took this image, I left space on the left for aesthetic

purposes, but liked it more without the huge green blob. Is it too

centered in the frame to be effective? Comments on the quality of

work also greatly appreciated.

This is an absolutely lovely composition. It does not have the detail that mine did, but it has a certain magic lighting about it. Thanks for the helpful comments. Your composition is exactly what I was referring to. This is the glow~!

Simply wanted to start a dialog about lighting and get some input from those who have better images with lighting systems. Thanks for the low ratings on the image. Now, that you have been so conscious as to rate the image low, perhaps you could share some of your superior photographic lighting experience with me. Luke

I am playing with a new lighting setup and need help with when enough

is enough. This was done with the A2 and 200ws strobe and umbrella.

The camera mounted flash was the trigger for the slaved strobe. Would

more even lighting make this softer? What gives flower images that

magnificent glow I see so often? Thanks

interesting background. the focus shift on the railing alludes to her possibly growing up. creative imagery.

wonderful EP; wish the track was not there behind her head. Great country pose!

Just a bit more of her face and this would have been all 7.

Difficult to meter this I bet; still like the old rust bucket and the blue on the right side. The left could use a bit of a crop as I think it contributes to the business of the overall image.

Great shadows

Absolutely wonderful framing and color!

What would make this more interesting without removing it from

abstract category?

Well, Steve, I think I pushed the A2 towards its limit. The lens stops down to f/2.8 and this is f/3.2. The flash compensation is something I could work on; the lens is an all-in-one 28-200mm equivalent.

OK, here is the first portrait (intentional) since I received such

good advice a while back. This still does not seem to be quite sharp

enough for me. Are the details of the trees too distracting?

I like it...it is simple and clean and has movement or at least the illusion of movement.

a bit of fill flash or a reflector would have made this a perfect kid shot.

nice intimate mood shot...almost could be B/W but done well enough to have a bit of color. the composition is strong enough that the color is not overpowering.

great background (none); nice pose, and good DOF in the image.

I want to start taking more people shots. I need help finding out

what makes others want to look at portraits of others. People we do

not know? Help me make my people images more interesting!

Bxcellent tease shot. A modern David. Keep shooting him.

good lighting on your subject and even though the background is OOF enough, the slant is somewhat disconcerting for me.

Can really sense the movement in this photograph. Excellent work; wonderful perspective.

great catch....there is so much going on here. the photos behind him. the broken meter, even his flip flops connotate quite a bit of actions.
