Thanks Scott! I'm a bit surprised this got featured so quickly. But I must give special credit to my wife for putting up with the cold and my repeated attempts to get the light just right.

A light to a new life.

and ya CONGRATS! You have to show this pic to your child someday.

Congrats, nice one Jason.

Thanks all! My wife is wonderful:)

Beautiful light and composition! Love it. Thanks for sharing with us.

I wish you good light,
Jon

Thanks everybody for comments and for feature my work. I'm very glad you like it. This shot was taken in Egypt, Luxor, Karnak temple. Camera - Canon PowerShot G7.

Beautiful color contrast here.

Great shot. Congrats!

Very nice lightning and komposition. I like this.

Amazing place. Where it is?

Oh this is Yosemite, Bridal Veil Falls.

Nice baby. How old is he|she ?

She is a month old in the photo, but now three months:)

Thanks Anna and Ron. I appreciate the feedback.

Oh man, she looks sweet! Adorable, really :) It can be minimalistic because of the relative small space she takes in this picture, though you could have strongened the effect by adding some white space on the left and on top (just open a new document in photoshop which is bigger than the picture, copy/paste end blur the spots that doesn't fit the white). But I love the picture the way it is now :)

Thanks Soyrosa. That's a good thought. I could set it to a neutral since around her isn't blown out either. Thanks!

It's a beautiful portrait of your niece. Nothing to be critical of from my point of view. Nice work Jason!

Exelent!

I know, "let's not include water", but it's in an other way I think

Great shot. I really like the selective saturation.

How refreshing...

thank you so much for your comment lindy ;)

Amazing very eye catchiing nice colours.

Lovely use of color. It also brings back memories of childhood fun.

Great palette. By which I mean; colours, naturally...

It reminds me of being little! I love it!

I really like this shot. I just wish it were a little sharper. But I think it was shot fine, just needs a little PP.

the lack of sharpness is actually grain from using ISO 800 film. This was taken with my Nikon f1. I digitized it with my d80. I can sent you the raw file to see what you can do, but I can't get it any sharper with my pp skills.

Great angle! Where was this taken?

Gracias Dennis.
Esta fotografía está hecha en Salamanca (Spain). Es el Río Duero en el paraje que se conoce como "Arribes del Duero". Si quieres ver más imágenes de esta zona, puedes visitar mi página:

Amazing landscape, the angle works excellent for this view.

Very cool shot, nice clearity but the colours could be more vibrant. Not sure I like the bright reflection in the water.

Es un lugar impresionante. A mi me encanta visitarlo y de la última vez hace ya demasiado tiempo (y tengo muy pocas fotos).

I like this as well. I love the tones. Gritty fits right into the theme.

@goodlife,

This is a bar in downtown New Orleans that never reopened after the storm (Katrina).

Here's another holga shot looking up from the same location:

@everyone

Thanks for all the comments!

I do like Holga shots. I love the high contrast and vignette. The only thing I would consider is getting the entire door in the frame and trying to get the vertical lines more exact. Great shot though.

What is different with a Holga? I don't have any experience with them...

Great work - a little straightening would help, i guess - regardless, however, this is a strong comp. and perfect for the category.

Cheers,
Jon
