Um, ok.

 

but the last thing I wanted was a "picture" that was sharp from front to back

Thank you for the comment, Its a long exposure using cokin warming soft focus filters and a mag light, the soft "deamy" look is what I was after

 

I will have to try something like this but keep the front flower sharper and have the background soft (I would use a tilt/shift lens to better control the DOF)

 

thanks again

Ray

Ha, I didnt even notice but now it bugs me :)

 

thank you taking the time to comment on my image, its nice having a second set of eyes

stunning image I love the how simple the lines are and the color is fantastic

 

great composition, thanks for sharing

 

regards

 

Ray

Feedback would be great on this one, its nature but a little different

 

thank you

 

Ray

Great image, Nature type shots usually dont get my attention but this really stand out

 

the interaction of the 2 subject is much more interesting than the same old "lone buck" type shot Ive seen so many times before, great comp, great color, great image

 

I guess If I could change something (I know it would not have been possible) I think I would have rather not had the deer in the front flat with the film plan (at a slight angle maybe 20 feet to the right or left)

I set out to shoot the leaves changing, but the sky was grey and overcast making the

colors really stand out but pretty flat lighting.

 

I decided to try a more simple detailed "Fall" shot and would very much like to know

what you think.

Very nice image, works great in B&W and I like the dark shadow on the white church

 

I dont care for the frame and the image is huge, and I believe it gets soft when resized to fit the screen

Ray

Thank you for the spell check, and taking the time to comment

Wow, how long did you have to shoot this? Id guess not long

 

great image all around, color and comp

 

regards

I would like comments on the PHOTO only, and please understand I MAKE PHOTOS nothing more

Do the heat waves and smoke help or hurt this image? I have others but this one (with

the muzzle flash) seem to stand out to me, for lack of a better word "gritty"

 

I would very much like you honest OPINION of the PHOTO

 

Thank you

Ray

Great light, and I love the hands and the look on her face, great image

.

Stunning work, thanks for sharring

I am getting worn out on seeing the same type of childrens photo's, the "deer in

headlights" look, same pose, same old muslin backdrop (in sharp focus to boot),

same lighting that never seems to change from subjest to subject

 

So while at the park with my girl friend a woman asked me to shoot a picture of her

and her child (her camera) I had my kit in the car so I offered to shoot a few at no

charge as I have NO experience at photographing children

 

I would very much like you opinion of this shot as a photographer and better yet as a

parent

 

Thank you

Ray

thank you very much for looking and taking the time to comment

Im not a "nature" type of shooter, I set out to take shots of water and decided to

include some ducks (fill flash)

Great color and I really like the crop, very good work

Great work and a very eye catching photo

I love the perspective here (the best I have seen) most floral shots start to look alike, yours is different it stands out nicely compared to others but I do wish it was in focus (starting at the center of the lily)

Such vivid color and smooth motion, different from most of your other images

 

great work as usual, thank you for posting these

CRAP! I thought I was being creative! Who is Sousa? Jack is that your photo? Id like to say mine is different but it might just be because Im to cheap to have any huge prints around (good thing)

 

Below is a post of the real shot, I remember seeing baby and some wedding shots like this (high key and washed out) from the 70's

 

I tried it with Sara on matte paper with a very light grey border in an 11x14 frame, I like the light look because the eyes jump off the paper

 

Thank you all so much for the comments, they mean much more to me than the ratings

Thanks for lookin, what do you think?

Great work, nice detail in the hands and keys, very sharp with very good contrast

 

thnks for sharing
