i know, Ray.. I thought that was the cool thing about this style of shallow DOF.. It looks like a model - I've seen people do it with cars in streets taken from buildings above.. kind of different. :)

gorgeous with her between the rows of trees. Wonderfully done.

My daughter also wore a black wedding dress last year. I was frightened that it would be goth when she told me but it was ever-so elegant.

I've been looking up wedding photographs to get some new ideas for an upcoming wedding and I came across this one. It's Soooooooooooooo good.. and I would have done the same thing - only with a skirt on..lol

 

I'm curious as to how you took this with both the flower girl and the couple pretty focused?

He just sat there with his finger on the glass. And time after time ?

children, teenagers, and adults

touched their finger to his in a gesture that was both silent and

universal in its meaning.

I like this view of the lighthouse in Marquette. I was on the other side last week when I shot it. Even though subdued, the red of the lighthouse is still a stand-out focal point amidst the hues and forms of blue.

 

This lighthouse is the reason I found you. Leo commented on my version and said he had a photo of it in his portfolio. When I looked I saw you remark about his saying it was in New England and was he sure? lol.. I said the same thing.

 

Oh, I was just in Escanaba the week before.. love those smokestacks and the industry area.

in fact, one of the most original and beautiful photos I've seen in a long time. There is a peace and a silence that comes with viewing this. Excellent.

Comments and critiques welcome.. thanks for looking.

Is this the one you were talking about on my "storm approaching" photo? Mine is in Marquette Michigan like the other viewer said. How odd.. even the view is the same. Beautiful photo, by the way.

Thank you all :)

 

Leo, the sky was dropped in as an overlay. I was taking photos of the sun and clouds through the sunroof on the way to Marquette (I wasn't driving..lol) and later when I was looking at this photo I thought it needed more ooomph. The sky was a beautiful blue but no clouds were in sight then and I like the dramatic look.

thanks for viewing..

thanks for looking..

I do see the difference there - cleaner, I suppose you could call it..

 

thanks :)

thanks for your time..

This is one of these images that make my mouth drop open and keep it there.. I'm just astounded by it.. the spiritual overtones are immense.. there is a gentility to it .. a silence..

Perfection.

VERY original.. I love the odd colors and the pose is hilarious.. very creative

Don't change a thing - it's perfect.. the intensity in sky and the simplicity in her stance. One gets a feeling of yearning and of waiting.

 

Looking at your work in this set, I think of what little talent I have.. Your work is amazing.

Unusual, creative, and original..

The darker side of him... I love the focus on his intense eyes

intensity in this brightly exposed portrait - it is perfect as it brings out the depth of the person..

There is a feeling of acquiescence in the body language.. the etches and depth of golden color make this an emotional image.. excellent

 

I rate this a 7/6 but the system won't let me leave a 7 for some reason. This system is bullshit, by the way ;)
