John - wow you spent a lot of time on this and I can not thank you enough.  I've taken notes and will make the corrections that you pointed out.  I did have a second light, I tried to use it as a hair light, but it wasn't designed as such.  It sits behind her about 45degree off her right shoulder, you can see it in her hair a touch, but not at the crown where I think it would have been most beneficial.  WB is an issue I'm attempting to learn more about.  For some reason I never notice it until someone corrects it for me.  Your's is much better.  Thanks again!

Thank you!

 

Thanks Jerry.  The composition I can't fix, I shot it like this :( - ill have to look at the original file, perhaps I overexposed it in post processing.  I think the raw file is right on, but I'll have to go back and look now that you got me seeing it :)

any and all cc appreciated. Thanks for looking.

any and all cc appreciated. thanks for looking!

cc welcomed.

If you have a moment I'd appreciate your thoughts on the album

"monuments" this is one of 5 images. Thanks!

I like it because recently I attempted similar shots - although not nearly as extreme. I love it because my eye was not ready to see this initially and it threw me off guard. The composition is what I love. Now if every photographer did this, it would tire very quickly.

great work! well seen and captured!

Tony - I have all those feelings as well... Thanks for your comments I appreciate them.  I'm not sure what I"m trying to convey here.... there was a group of photogs shooting her to my left, and went around and shot her from this view thinking it would be something different that what the others were shooting - but I don't know what!

Lovely! I think the exposure is perfect. I'd love to see it in color as well.

Love it - I would have cropped just around his armpits though.. Great work!

Nice job. I like it!

I think her skin is little underexposed, some more light directly on her would improve this dramatically. Cute otherwise!

Nice work.

I don't know why, but I love B/W photos, however wildlife I prefer in Color.

Nice work!

Its a touch underexposed, if you have it raw some fill light might save the day here.

You are lucky he didn't wake up and glare at you! or is that the next photo in the series?

There isn't much you can do without some heavy photoshop, but the power lines are the enemy of many good photographers! Otherwise nice capture!

Does this composition do anything for you? For some reason I like the

photo, but the more I look at it, I find it lacking something... what did you

think when you first saw it?

Do you like it?

This photo moves me - it made me move back in my chair after I felt a lump in my stomach. I'm afraid of heights and this instantly gave me the chills.. Well done! Now please don't post any more - hahah!

Too much white, the outline of the mother is lost and it looks like a floating head with two arms holding a baby. Can you adjust it to bring out the details of the mother?

WOW! Well exposed! Nice work!
