Very well done. Like the light caught by the filaments, background is not over-exposed. With these subjects with thin DOF, I have found it challenging to pick the right focus point to make the image look nice - you have done a great job of picking a nice focus point! Beautiful.

So very creative.

Like the contrasts and the placement of the glasses.

Very cool concept.

Could you tell us what lighting you used for this and how you lit it?

LOL :) Cool image.

Btw, "FocalLength: 21.0 mm" - how did you manage to take this and not get lynched? :D (unless ofcourse you were part of the group).

Mike, thanks. This chap gave us quite a few nice poses. Heres another of him grinning:

Thanks Mike.

I didn't even notice the snow-capped white peak in the distance when I took the picture. Only after downloading it did I see it. The summer is when the northwest is at its best - the rest of the year its all grey and drizzling. 

Thank you Borut.

Dear David and Alf,

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you Pierre.

As seen from the Fremont Lookout in Mt. Rainier National Park.

Critique/comments greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.

Thank you Pierre.

Thank Pierre. CW Rotation done :) ! (but it only shows up in "large" version of the picture).

Some dramatic light over the Geirangerfjord in western Norway.

Critique/comments greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.

Came a little late to the party. Very cool. Given the crop, it actually looks like she is devouring a dismembered human head.

Heh.

What can you say, with the recesiomn and all, times are tough - gotta eat what you can. :D

Thanks Joseph for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated.

About the tags - rattlesnake - don't you see it!!! Just kidding :D - Heh,  the lake is called "Rattlesnake Lake" - but the tags get separated out into single words. Sorry about the confusion.

Thank you Victor. I wanted to capture the entire reflection too - that required that I add more of the blown-out sky at the top. I opted for this composition. I should go out there and try more compositions.
