i think your shot definitely captures the somber mood in which you experienced this find. i always get a bit of a heart tug when i find children's graves in cemeteries. here's one i shot: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9734552

thanks Gary. I do appreciate the advice. i don't have any "equipment" other than my camera and lens so far, so i'll have to check into getting a fill flash. someone had commented on my other shot like this, giving the same advice. so i guess i should read up on what type of equipment is what, since i'm still in the "dark" about it!!!!

 

MKN

wow! what a piece!

 

MKN

Thanks Michael for stopping by. I'll keep your suggestion in mind for future use. I still need lots of training on using the camera itself, much less exterior add on parts!!!! Have a good day.

 

MKN

yes! its my little George Evan. we were outside waiting for my family to arrive.

this shot is very good. both good looking models, great lighting, great atmosphere. the only tiny little gripe i have is her lips. they look a little dry. she needed to have a bit of lip gloss on.

 

MKN

very tender little image. i love the blur of the necklaces.

 

MKN

Thanks for looking.

i like the cropped one too, so that the forehead doesn't take away from her eyes so much. i can only imagine what she's thinking. lol.

 

MKN

its a shame mushrooms only last for a week at most.....

Thanks SO much for your time Haig!!! I knew if anyone could find out, you could.

 

MKN

oh wow! i didn't even know that's what that was! i've never gotten into it before. geez, i better be careful....i was laid out all over the ground trying to get this shot! time to buy a Field Guide!

 

MKN

this is such a beautiful photo. i can imagine two people kissing under the light and not worrying about the snow falling on them....

Well, I almost stepped on this snake while walking in the woods, but not because he was blending in with the leaves. It was because he was only about 5 inches long! It's a shame I didn't think at the time to use a larger DOF. I'm such a newb. But I was excited to find him so I was just trying to get a few shots in before he slithered away.

makes me think of Anne Frank.......

My husband wants to know where this was taken! ; ) Very nice capture of these normally shy animals...

 

MKN

Much thanks to you Christal and Siw. Have a great day!

lol! Mike, you're such a kidder! we KNOW we are gonna win!!!! ; )

very nice! what business is this?

poor thing. it reminds me of my lambie that i lost for a year when i was little. evidently i was playing "hide and seek" with him and hid him too good! i found him a year later with a half an ear missing from where a rat had chewed him.

 

MKN

you can definitely feel the loneliness.........almost eerie, like you need to watch over your back.

 

MKN

oh wow! i'm intimidated. i posted a mushroom for critique but its not nearly as awesome as this one!

 

MKN

C&C greatly appreciated.

amazing light! what a majestic view into infinity.....

 

MKN

Mike's version is quite good!
