Glad you like them. The water was like glass until a couple of boats passed by and ruined the mirror shot I was planning, but I liked the way the colors looked like this and thought they looked like ribbons too. Thanks for looking! -Tophie

She looks too tough for her age, good catch. -Tophie

Beautiful picture with great lighting!

I agree, your eyes are piercing. I'd love to see you smile in at least one picture, though. With the shape of your mouth and your strong jaw line, I bet a more jovial picture will be just as great as this serious one!

Nice idea, title, and lighting. I am a big fan of the nudes without nudity, and this one is cool. Thanks for sharing! -Tophie

Taken in early evening. I'm just psyched to finally have a camera

that will allow me to take moon shots (have not tried any other

night sky pics yet). Any helpful input is appreciated.

Great capture! My little girl does not like to do this when I have my camera around, but does it every other time. Ah, the joys of being a toddler! About the only thing I would change is including the top portion (if you have it) to include the hand and cup. -Tophie

Brent and Arnold, thanks for your comments. As for the pics you each attached: Brent I don't think I would do that, myself, and Arnold, here in the South, there ain't enough money in the world to get me on my roof during a good lightning show! Thanks for looking! -Tophie

My wife swears I'll die taking pics like this...I just hope it makes

for a good picture if it happens. Thoughts appreciated.

Constructive comments are always welcome!

Olaf, about the only thing I understand completely from your comment is that you don't like the black and white/color combination. Sorry you "hate" that, but thanks for looking. -Tophie

This has gotten a ton of views on my page without any request being

made, so I thought I'd ask what people like about it. Thanks for

looking, all constructive criticism is welcome.

I think the nutria in the bayous of Louisiana have to be the basis

for the Rodents of Unusual Size in "The Princess Bride". Your

thoughts?

I will start this by saying quite frankly that I don't take good portraits. I like this photo for the composition and the fact that she has beautiful green eyes. I only bring this part up because I was a senior in high school once and hated pictures because of acne. I can't honestly tell if it is a pimple or maybe a mole on her forehead, but I found it distracting, so that is all I changed, I just wiped it out. Please, no barrage from people who don't have perfect skin, hardly anyone does...and those of us who don't certainly don't want it shown in photos that otherwise make us look great - like this one. My change is attached, since you asked for edits.

I like this very much, but would like it a little lighter and maybe with the whole suitcase in the frame (which may have given you trouble with this angle and I'm assuming wanting the full tracks in the frame). Have you thought about doing the same photo, same angle, but maybe with someone standing there holding the suitcase? Especially if it is your little brother or other young person, I think it would be a great composition. I like the photo as it is, though. Nice work!

She has great lines for this lighting, great photo! -Tophie

Changed to two colors, would like feedback. Thanks for looking.

Like with some of my other photos, this one has gotten many more

views than others and I'd like to know why. Thanks for any comments!

I appreciate all comments.

For some reason this photo has been viewed a lot more than many

others, so I thought I'd ask for feedback to know why. I appreciate

all constructive criticism. Thanks for looking! -Tophie

We've all done it, but not all of us have thought to take a photo while doing it. Creative and well done! -Tophie

Thanks, I agree but she just picked that one up (plus I don't have any I would call vintage unfortunately).

From a local 5K last weekend. All constructive comments welcome!

Great lighting job, and I like how nothing is visible behind her. Well done, I wish I could take some like this! -Tophie

Would love feedback on these photos together. All constructive

comments are welcome!
