Nice one, David! I can't count the number of times I see interesting looking people that I would love to photograph, but don't, because I'm still just too self conscious about drawing negative attention to myself. I really like portraits like this one that show us something about who a person is. Good job!

It's just TOO cute the way his little hand is perched on his chin, Sandy. This is a perfectly captured moment of deeply mutual admiration. Another gem!!!

Portrait Collection

This is a really nice shot of a beautiful child, Mia. The softness and pastel tones complement so well the innocent demeanor that she's projecting. I see this as having even more impact as a fill-the-frame portrait, cropped in close on all sides with none of the white showing. I might try the crop to the top portion as far down as the middle of her forehead, allowing us a more directed focus on her very engaging eyes. A bit off of the bottom would give the hand positioning a more natural look, and coming in closer on the sides would further contribute to a more intimate feel to the portrait. I think that her sweet face could look stunning close up. :)
