Such a beautiful princess. Had to catch here being herself.

Thank you Rajat. I just have to photo them in a more proper setting. Here and her sister are just adorable. I am giving their Mom these portraits.

I picked this photograph of him as a good portrait, even with the flower hanging down beside his face. I could have left the guitar out of the title, as I should have, and used another title.

Thank you Rajat. I guess he does not match the title too well. Hearing him, watching him is what I based the title on, in error. Being a photograph of him his title should have matched the photo. Thank you.

Converting to black and white I put enough contrast into to the photo to bring out the harshness of the subject. I did not think that softening him would do him or the costume justice.

Thank you very much Ton. Your observation and critiques are always much appreciated.

I like this. Very nice photo. As a lover of black and white I would love to see this in monochrome and what effect it would have.

very attractive model. Very nice setting, well postitioned. I think there is too much background; it obstructs the vision of the subject. I would have cropped it tighter on the sides for sure and maybe a little at the bottom of the picture, pulling her in to the viewer closer while still having the setting in view. Just my opinion.

Very beautiful model for sure; but beyond that. Well shot photograph, well focused and lit. very nice.

I like it. Don't think I would change a thing. Except maybe frame it and sign it. Excellent capture.

I like to think of him as the Gentle Giant when looking at this photo. His demeanor was so calm and fluid in that very crazy large crowd.

Thank you very much. I saw this young man and had to shoot him. His pose, not pose, was just great. The rings around his neck are those glow in the dark rings I believe. I saw a few of them around there that day.
