It's not obvious that Jessie is a she from any of my photos.

I look forward to seeing your photos in the forum.

 

Thanks again and no probs with my Gender-bending daughter :0)

Jessie doesn't naturally look like Chucky - It took some doing, but I managed it. :0)

She's so beautiful, but I have failed in my effort to capture it.

 

Sorry to have frightened you :0)

 

kind regards,

Paul.

 

BTW - Loved your portfolio.

There is some slightly distracting colour-noise on the left hill (and through some of the rest of the shot).

Having said that, what a vista.

The exposure is very well judged throughout. I like this - and that is why I'm commenting on it :0)

Beautiful tones. Very good.

I love this.

Sharp in just the right place, compositionally perfect as he walks into frame.

Wonderful.

Cheeky chops.

If you get time, let me know what you think.

View large as always.

 

BTW, Compare this the shots of Jessie in my 'A' Gallery to see how she

has changed 10 months!

You all seem to like the photo, and I'm glad.

Thanks for your comments.

 

Since getting the Tokina 12-24mm, I have tried to take shots of subjects other than my daughters :0)

I did wonder about doing a "Shindler's list little girl in a red coat whilst all around is black and white" on the little duck but that is such a naff concept.

 

Glad you got the duck job.

 

My wife didn't ;0)

I know the duck isn't obvious. I thought it would be an interesting name to get people looking around the shot.

I did like the composition and felt it was worth working on for that reason alone - It's just that the little duck is an added bonus. :0)

Thanks for your comment.

 

kind regards,

Paul

"I see dead people". Nice composition. Congrats.

Here is the original so you an see why the light was dull.

Another from the Flatford photos.

Let me know what you think.

another from the sequence of photos taken at Flatford Mill on Sunday

morning at 5:30am.

Used Neat Image (and a few other magical incantantations) to create this.

Just be keen to see what you think about this.

Have manipulated a little... Got rid of a warning sign, a house and

changed the sloping sides of the castle which were evident from having

used a 12mm lens.

It's almost as if a landscape photographer were asked "What would be your dream components in an image?"

 

- Sunflowers, please. Thousands of them.

- Oh and an interesting sky.

 

and then seeing it appear before your eyes.

 

This is a great shot.

Agree with other contributor, large please.

Also, As much as I prefer B&W, (see my own portfolio for you to realise that is true), the first thing I thought when seeing this was 'what would this look like in colour?' Orangey yellow and blue - It doesn't get any better than that.

Great shot though.

They weren't really.

Just a bit of fun this one. Added some motion blur to show some turn

of speed.

Can't imagine how someone has given you a 3/3. This is enchanting. Fabulous lighting of a wonderful little face. She can have as much ice-cream as she can stomach.

Thanks for playing with my other shots. I just spotted a high-key one which you (Jayme) had played with. I am very lucky that whatever we do with these, I am lucky to have the initial raw material to work with. My daughter Madison(who I must seem obsessed with) is just so expressive. It's almost difficult to believe that these are all of the same little girl (not yet 4 1/2 years old).

 

I was particularly pleased with this one as the original showed promise only interms of expression. Certainly not lighting.

 

It's always a pleasure to see other's efforts with my own photos and to see what they would do with the same raw material. This is one of the reasons I include the original.

 

Thanks for you time and effort.

 

kind regards,

Paul

Taken today, this was taken at Orford in Suffolk. It's odd, but

everytime I head towards the coast or a river, I have the intention of

tring to capture the beauty of the scenery. The problem is that water

looks fantastic when you are there, but rubbish through the lens and

back home on the computer; so I can't help but gravitate towards dead

boats for foreground fodder. Here is the result from today's outing.

The second in the Dressing Up series. Some of the tones are a little

burnt out but worth that for the expression alone.

Try stopping her from dressing up like Mummy/a Princess/a fairy and

you will see tears... Yours!

See the original and note the 'improvements'.

I'm flattered that you've stopped by and played with the image. I have some images of Madison in her dressing up stuff in the portfolio where the dress can be seen. I do like what you've done and shall have a basj at recreating the image in the same vein. Thanks again.

Just took this and really like it.

I have included the original so you cansee what the photo looked like

originally. Can you spot the differences?

I didn't want the princess dress elements (see original) spoiling a nice clean shot of Madison. I removed them and used my normal amount of manipulation to get th shot I was looking for. I prefer simple clothes as they don't take your eye away from the face.
