Tore! As usual great work. This particular model reminds me so much of Jennifer Lopez ;-)

I was enjoying your portfolio, then I saw this and I stopped dead in my tracks, stunned! I can't even begin to describe how awesome this shot is. And the square format just....works!

 

 

Dear Larry,

 

Yes, I really should have had my tripod, but I was attending a destination wedding as a guest, so I travelled super light, gear-wise :D

Thanks very much for your tweak!

This is a real stunner, John. Amazing lighting and concept!

Thank you all so much! I love this shot too :)

I 'saw' this shot in my mind's eye.

I was a guest at a friend's wedding, held at a hotel with reallyfabulous Afro-Arabic architectural elements. I simply had to set thedress up for a shot.

What do you think?

Thank you both very much!

Thanks very much, Laurent :)

I liked the implied rising of this building, behind the mists of thefountains at the Mall. I deliberately underexposed it during capture,to throw the foreground into shadow and let the Burj rise.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the image...

I was heading to the Dubai Mall when I walked past a construction site

and saw this image. I loved the conceptualised framing. What do you think?

I welcome your comments on this image. Shot handheld. Subtle lifting

of the shadows in PS, but not a HDR.

Thanks Alf and Benjamin. It has been a while since I entered a photo for critique. I'm glad I did, and I'll do so more often now.

 

I see what you mean about the "in-limbo" rocky outcrop... I think I will crop it out in the final print.

 

As for shutter speed, I was approaching the outer limits of what I could safely handhold. Those waves had some power in them; it was hard to keep steady when they broke. They were knee-high or deeper. Unfortunately, I didn't carry a tripod.

Many thanks for your kind comment, Robert!

I captured this soon after sunrise, somewhere on the Kenyancoastline. I shot it handheld. B&W conversion in post.

I would love your thoughts on the image (both as-is, and how Icould have improved it)

Beautiful light. It picks up the lines of the car very well. My only nit pick is I would have positioned myself a bit more forward. I would rather see a bit more of the front than the rear.

I would also really have liked to see this from a fron 3/4 angle as well. Do you have some? :)

I don't advocate for smoking :) but this shot is just too wonderfully executed to ignore. Amazing tones and superb capture.

Happy 2012 my friend. This is gorgeous!

Absolutely stupendous image. And taken right in my back yard! :)

Congratulations. I really don't think this could have been better executed. it is "picture perfect" ...Pardon the pun!

Greetings from Kenya,
Mark

Fantastic image. Great pose and framing, wonderful lighting

Excellent photo, my friend. Excellent choice of DOF to separate her from the background. Also the use of the trees a leading lines to her great expression.

This is an absolutely stunning photograph. Awesome composition, gorgeous lighting. Superlative in every way. And pretty eyes to boot :)

Superb!

This one gave me goosebumps! Superb image, amazing make-up

As usual, stunning work, my friend :) It's been a long time since we chatted. Keep in touch! :)

Thank you, sir! :)
