I like these more than previous. As for me much more better. BTW, nice model ;)

Very nice series.
Personally i like the darker one as i think it is more fitting for the model.

Another lovely shot from this series Vernon. So many things I like here, the shadows of course, the look on her face and the texture of the wall to name just a few. Nicely done.

Ditto. I really like this series.

Congrats Vernon, another well deserved feature!

Great portrait. I'm not shure of croped legs but photo is good, colors - great!

@misu
the legs are beyond the frame :-))

@Eric
a proud portrait. congrats to the feature.

Scottish Warrior in war paint. Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Overall a nice image, the blue is fantastic. I'd clone out the badge at his waste and the moving hands are a bit distracting. Would have been interesting to get him to move his head more towards the camera and capture some of the unpainted side of his face.

Mel Gibson? Kidding! I love the blue face. Lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph him. Do you have other photos on this subject? I like to see more.

Just beautiful.

The out of focus element of this is perfect. Reminds me of Julia Margaret Cameron a bit.

Enhorabuena por esta fotografia. Cuanta vida tras esta imagen. Saludos

Sí tiene usted razón, gracias por tu comentario
Saludos

Magnifique image.
j'aime beaucoup le travail

Merci Michael ;-)

I like this one but try to sharpen it or focus camera better next time.

prometheus & misu: thanks very much. Your input and thoughts are much appreciated :)

Very interesting shot. Emotional. Forces you to feel for her. Nice eye!

I like this one too. She seems to be pondering some kind of thought. She has a confused look on her face as if she is in denial of the truth,and what is really in front of her. I know its deep, but this is what I see. Great people watching capture

Nice facial expression and nice use of the B&W.

Fotografía cargada de simbolismo. El sujeto (la niña), único protagonista de la escena, sin embargo, no se deja ver. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Great photo!

Thanks Philippe.

I'm trying to take his picture for the photo boards at work and I'm probably telling him to sit still and stop laughing. It ended in fits of laughter and big giggles, but I did get a good 'official' portrait as well. This one sums him up, though!

How can one be a purist about how people laugh? Surely fun and laughter, i.e. emotion, is about more than having your eyes open?

Photography is full of experts who believe the rules should be followed and rarely broken.

i believe thats utter bollocks

I like that his eyes are closed because you truely caught him in a moment.

I like this almost candid shot of somebody laughing. The overall colours are quite toned down, but perhaps that makes the contrast with his skin greater. This puts even more focus on his face.

great shot, i like this
it makes me smile

So cute...all three...but the boy in the center makes the photo! Dark sweatshirt and his position.

Thanks! The best part is it was totally unscripted, I just shot when they started goofing around and laughing. :)
