Hi David, thanks, I think contrast was the main theme :-) > Technically I think the buildings over her left shoulder could do with > a bit burning in though. I will definitely have more of a play with it if prints are required > Is it an accurate portrayal of her personality? <g> Not really but I am glad she can pull it off when need be, could be a good tool later on ;-) On 8 Apr 2005 at 22:49, Paul Stenquist wrote: > I like the framing and camera angle.

Hi Paul, thanks, she did collect her degree on stage with the buckle in full view but she was far from the most outrageous there. And yes she's far from a baby as such but she'll always be my baby sis :-) On 9 Apr 2005 at 7:43, Boris Liberman wrote: > It shows.

LOL, thanks Boris, I hope she likes it, I still haven't spoken to her though due to the powers of digital imaging she did have a full CD of images from the day to ponder over the same night. > The arc(h) on the background is a bit distracting, but I suppose you had > little choice... True, it was shot on the library lawn around lunch time so there were bodies lying all about the place plus that's where she wanted to stand so who am I to argue :-) On 8 Apr 2005 at 22:59, Bruce Dayton wrote: > I quite like this one.

Hi Bruce, I'm glad that you liked it, I think you have a great eye for portraits generally so I'm flattered somewhat. Just goes to show too that no one should limit themselves to particular FL for certain jobs. I've made many great portraits using wide lenses over the years, of course they distort the subject but it's not always to their detriment like this example.

Thanks Bill, I've still got to send you some feedback on the last set of portraits you shot, she is gorgeous and you captured her image very nicely. On 9 Apr 2005 at 12:03, Cotty wrote: > Awesome!
