Beautiful.

I like the tones, and the DOF, and the composition is different in a good way.

Great shot.

Hi, please enjoy the larger image.

Comments and critiques are welcome.

Hi

The mood is great once again.

With the sunbeams and the smoke, all the wood and grass, it looks like a real lazy day picnic.

Nice idea, personally I would have liked to see a little more DOF, and less highlights on the left half.

:-)

So, here it is. The most beautiful photograph I have seen today, and one of the most awesome I have ever seen.

I love the soft glow on the skin, but the retention of detail on the lips and eyes.

Whatever else I say here will not do this justice.

Excellent shot!

Unusually for me, this time I wanted the vehicle in the picture to

show proximity. My favourite feature though is that I took this at

1/80s with no flash and hand held. A few short minutes later it was

too dark to shoot anything that moved.

The bee was just a lucky addition, or do you think it is a

distraction?

Well done.

Great colour, but super angle.

If I were to be super critical I would have suggested clipping the grass in front of it, and being a little closer.

Excellent.

Hi

I was unable to get a better backdrop than the grass. I was hoping for more contrast too, but it was not to be. Any ideas are welcome.

What a lovely scene.

Nice use of colour again. Well Done.

A Boma is an enclosure in the Bush.

I took this with no flash, just kept the shutter open long enough to

capture the scene.

I agree that the signature doesnt add any aesthetic value to the image, however contrary to what you say, some people do use images without permission.

It has happened to people here on photo.net before.
