Thanks for looking. Taken in sculpture 'park' at the University of

Saskatchewan. Check out my portfolio for several others taken there as

well.

Thanks for comments.

A snapshot of which I'm particularly proud.

I think it's called "Stirred, not shaken".

Thanks Roger and Jim for comments. Indeed, I have been invited by others to try a shoot with better sky. But the reason for taking these pictures is that I was in Estevan, Saskatchewan (yes, Canada) for a wedding, noticed the houses on an evening walk, and went out the next day to capture them before going home. So no other choice for sky... yet, anyway. But yes, well built, and surprisingly a lot of unique houses all on one street (see portfolio for more).

Thanks,

Roy

Another in my series of Estevan houses.

Sorry, mate, just doesn't work for me. If you're going to get a musical instrument for a shoot, you need to also get a music teacher to coach the model. She's holding the instrument and bow so badly that it distracts terribly. She looks so unnatural and uncomfortable. May I suggest asking the music community for someone who'd like to pose nude - I think you'd find a very positive response.

Cheers,

Roy

Very graceful photo. I enjoyed viewing your whole portfolio, excellent work. IMO her legs are too blurred here. Excellent shot nevertheless.

Thanks for critiques.

An odd night shoot with a belly dancer. Thanks for critiques.

A snap shot that worked out extremely well, if I do say so myself. No

editing.

Thanks for critiques.

Thanks for critiques.

Thanks again for comments.

As Irene and I wandered the river bank looking for good spots, this rock called to us. It was under a street light, and perfectly aligned with the 'castle' hotel in the back. Not one to meditate, she just struck this pose 'cause I think the weather and situation called for it. Anyway, when I tried to get the fence out of the background I lost the hotel, so oh well.

I have $100 saved for a new camera, even though I don't think I won't get a film camera, as I don't have the time and money for film. But the clarity should improve with a newer and more expensive digital.

Thanks,

Roy

Thanks for comments.

I think she's about to get goosed, baby!

Thanks for critique.

Thank you, Tom. I did some PS to bring out highlights, but I'll try some more on the clouds. This was an impromptu shoot, as I was only in town overnight, and after discovering all these amazing houses I strolled down the street after a big rain, shooting hither and thither.

Thanks for criticism.
