Photographers Comments
Ok, my last one for today, and sorry its me again..... Practice = perfect so they say... LOL

Took this one on a small apeture, but think it needs to be something a lot bigger ie f16+ Not sure since this is new to me.

I did say I would post my setup tonight - but been celebrating.... drove my car for the first time in 14 weeks and am going back to work (again) on Monday, so have had Chinese and some wine and am really feeling good with myself... LOL

Once again, comments and crits plse - really want to push this further!

The style of softness mate reminds me of an old movie still. Lighting is good but not exciting. Its contrasty and yet very frontal. I suspect the post work has deteriorated the image a bit. Not keen on this one bud being honest.....however!!! read the other one..

Hello there mate!

To be honest I am not overly keen on this one myself. I got the pose I was after, but think I moved slightly hense the out of focusing. There is also something else about it that I can't put my finger on.

Also agree about the post work.

Thank you kindly for being honest about this one, mate, I really do appreciate your honesty - and value your comments.



ps I read the other one first.... LOL
