It seems weird now that I've seen more photos of her, but I swear in your Free Study photo I thought she was about 20 (hence my "gamine" comment).

Thanks for explaining your setup in more detail, Nilesh. I'm sure your cousin and his new bride love the photo as well!

Your photog comments sound like a farewell; I hope you enjoy the time away from challenges and that you'll come back if the spirit moves you. Cheers from NYC,

Btw. this photo made me smile -- I thought at first it was a stuffed or artificial dog! :-)

Beautifully lit. So the light is bounced from the wall to the left of the photo (not the left side of the man), right? Is there any natural light in the photo? And how did you fill in his left side?

The MASTER

Andrew, such a strange photo... the DOF makes it appear that the large head was cut and pasted onto the background. Also, fair or not, I don't want to see this guy on the front page twice (having already seen him this week detracts somewhat from the one-in-a-billion impact), so I find myself giving this a lower score than it probably deserves. Or maybe not, I really do find it too artificial looking. :-/

Meh! I gave this a 9, btw. So sorry for the DQ.
