Wow! That looks amazing. It was well worth waiting to get this! Well done on the exposure as everything sits well. Great work Rikki!

Nice contrast! B&W is something my wife and I are playign with at the moment so if you care to share your technique here that'd be great! Good work!

Excellent blue tones throughout this photo Rikki. I would of maybe liked a little more light in some of the darker areas (maybe a little dodging may bring it out) but it really is exquisite!

I really love the colours and the stillness of the water but I'm going to have to agree with others here that it's not the best of your series here. It just seems to be lacking that little something that your other photos have. Still, i'd be happy with it in my portfolio! :)

I know a lot of people don't like selective desats but this is spot on. Rule of thirds framing is excellent and just draws you in to the little bug. Fantastic stuff!

A great landscape shot. To see that it's shot with an SD400 is even more amazing. Excellent work.

Once again a great range of tones. What an awesome area to photograph and you have done a great job with this one.

Excellent work here Rikki as usual! Tonal range works really well in black and white. I really like the darker foreground with the shadows as it highlights the mountain range in the background.

What an amazing location you've chosen there. I'd like to see her a little closer to the camera though, even at the front of the bridge perhaps. I found the secret to getting my wife interested more was to get her involved more in the ideas etc. Show her the photos and see if she has suggestions. I've used my wife now in lots of my photos, but it got her more involved in the photography side, and now it has cost me a lot of money setting her up with cameras, lenses etc too! But, it's great to have a common interest and it allows me to spend more money on gear too because she wants it aswell!:)

I'm sure you'll get some great photos of her, both in this location and others. I think it's nice when it's someone you know in photos like these too because they are wonderful for hanging around the home. I hope she does more for you!
