Please check out my factory session; I'd love to hear a female photographer's perspective on them.

I've looked at the entire series and would have to give this one the blue ribbon, with your first "Casey" image a close second. Excellent country setting! The tones also really make this stand out to me. Her facial expression as well as her hair gently framing her face give this a little extra feminine, cute mood, making this one a really special catch!

LOL I hear ya. Well my soon to be ex husband was getting on the site and printing my images off and giving them to his lawyer to use against me in the divorce claiming I am doing pornography now, so I thought if I had no name it would stop and it hasnt so I just dont give a damn anymore. LOL So it is back on!
hugs, Rona

Well, by 'intimidating' I meant...
...what am I supposed to call you?
I didn't quite know if you were in some witness protection program, and whether or not I was even allowed to utter your name.

I can see why it would be impersonal but I dont understand the intimidating part of it. I am going to change since you brought it up though. I guess you have put me in my place so to speak.

I hope you realize how impersonal and even intimidating your screen 'name' has become?

I really, really like this. Great model but I love the black and white. Very nice composition.

The thing that surprised me most, Spencer is that out of the 30 photos I'd submitted for the contest, I personally would have NOT chosen that as the best of the bunch.

Spencer,
It was a shot of the Emily Morgan Hotel, across the street from the Alamo. I shot it with my 4MP Kodak DX6490 (my first foray into digital, and I loved it). Here it is:

This is a very nice portrait! I like the youthful look on her face--the "I have the world figured out" look. :)
What was your winning photography for the 20D? I'd love to see it!

Ok, so Casey and Melanie are stand-out (and quite beautiful) exceptions to the rule. ;)

Some middle aged guy made that exact comment to my MOM (of all people) when I was 15.... ROFL!

This is very pretty, especially in B&W. It gives it a very classic look. The softening is nice too.
This is a great portrait regardless, but there is something about that dress that just isn't flattering, it just doesn't do her justice (I can tell from the other photos).
Doesn't matter, you made it work! LOL

Pretty girl and nice pose. Good use of softness and highkey highlights that give a rather angelic
look.

Youth in contrast to the faded wood. Her soft lines and shape in contrast to the angular building and her complexity in contrast to the simplicity of the form around her. It helps that she is stunningly attractive.

Great tones on this & I find myself liking the same things you do about this; and you're so right...they didn't build like that back in the day; I would have guessed 19 or 20 easily! :)

Paul,
I don't follow sports in the least... LMAO ... I would never pay for a ticket to make some “Bozo” rich by any means...
I think it's funny at the coffee pot on Monday mornings, to listen to the armchair athletes tout their comment’s on something they, themselves could never do...
I'm more of a do it kind of guy, not a talking head... I'd rather play "Soft Ball" than watch "Major League" any day...
The only reason I shoot, this kind of thing is, because it's fast...

Marty,
Dirk is an unstoppable FORCE.
My only regret with their eventual victory is that Mark Cuban may be a zillionaire, but he's still a trash-talkin' punk.

Sal, the link won't work...was that pointing to the EF-S 10-20mm you've got?
I've narrowed it down to either that or the Tamron 11mm. Hopefully I'll have payment from my magazine shoot arriving soon!

She's a real American beauty, and B&W serves this shot well. I really like the way you've juxtaposed the old dry weather-worn wood with her youthful soft femeninity.
Sal
PS Look: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=148&modelid=10510 and not astronomically expensive either, I'd have gone with a fisheye only I see it as a novelty lens and wouldn't have gotten as much use out of it. I'm glad I picked this lens.
