Lovely face. Great eyes, great makeup, nice and subtle, really makes her eyes pop. Great lips, almost like she's ready to snarl, kiss or smile. The broken elbow on the right doesn't bother me too much because I think it would have ruined the crop if you left it in.

Not crazy about the sepia though. I like sepia, I just think it should have been a little deeper on this one. More contrasty, because the white bar behind her is somewhat distracting to me because it's not consistent all the way across.

Don't get me wrong. I like this photo. I rarely comment on photos any more, so for you to get this much of my attention is a high compliment.

I like it. The one thing that threw me off was the bangle stuck up on her arm. Nice eyes.

You have to walk the path to get to the lighthouse. You're surrounded

by foliage and deer along the way. The lighthouse was built around

1896, so I took an old approach. Thanks.

Amazing. Right place, right time. 

I like it, but it looks more like a painting than a photo. A very good painting though. I would hang this piece. What did he really look like?

Trying something new for me. Both with the shot and post processing.

I know it's busy, but it's just an amazing thing to see. The people to the left of the Sphinx are more accurate to its size than the people in front of it. This is the second largest pyramid.

Notice you can't see the bottom. This thing is huge. I left my daughter's leg in to show some perspective.

Amazing piece of work. Cut from one piece of stone. It sits in front of the second pyramid (the one with the partial cap). If you stand in front of the Sphinx and turn around, the city is literally a couple of hundred feet away. Weird. I always thought this thing was in the deep desert. The sky was very bright and flat that day.

I met him in Egypt. His owner was away and he stepped up to have his photo taken. If you've never ridden a camel, it's something you have to try. They're huge, gentle giants.

First impression. A mermaid who just got her legs and is looking back to the sea she came from. Nice piece. Especially since there are no footprints around her. I'd clone out the ones behind her to make it complete.

I was riding on the Circle Line just leaving Ellis Island and it

looked like the sky opened up over the missing towers.

Trying the B&W mode of my camera. Impromptu shot. I was just walking

around with my camera and my daughter jump in front.

Actually she's a Korgi/Retreiver mix. If she stood up, you'd see how short her legs are. But she's fifty-five pounds, so she's pretty big.

I was sitting outside with my kids and trying to get the dog to

cooperate, but she refused to look into the camera with the

landscaping behind her. After numerous misses, I finally got this one

shot. She's a great companion. She's about to turn five. I've had her

since she was nine weeks.

Just enough burn, but not lewd. Sexy, but even with the mini, it's not crass. I love the lighting. I'm still learning myself. This is a great example. Her expression is seductive.

What a cutie. Is that you in the reflection of her eyes? The DOF is not to deep, which I like, but I think you could have cropped the right side a little more to let her fill the frame more.

Actually, the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it was "scourging." Scourging was a whip made out of bone and thorns, and hooks, and other funky stuff that would rip your skin when you were beaten with it.
