This is entirely cool. So very natural.

I really love the effect from that f/1.2 monster.

Off to note on my calendar that Hanneke's taking snapshots.
Cool ones at that!

Stay out of your studio more often - I wanna' see where your eyes go and what's next.

But, you're not allowed to upstage me in the process.
LOL

Nice collection!
Only suggestion is a light cloning or reshaping of the bottom part of the 2nd one from the top on the left side so it doesn't look "cut-off"

That macro lens is defective - it may need calibration.
Feel free to package it carefully, insure it and send it to me so I can run some tests on it - may take a few months. Oh - I don't charge for my testing either, and, I'll even pay the return postage.
:P

Nice shot - the dof works well on this, giving it a magic feel.

LOL at your comments.

Now who said there was anything wrong with red hair????
(my antenna always seems to perk up when out shooting candids if there is a red head around)

The outtake? Priceless!

OMG.

I want to go on record here and state that this disqualification is partly based on my fault. Lisa had shown me this shot, before cropping, and I had suggested that she use this shot as a Negative Space entry after I showed her this wider-aspect crop, that cut out the person on the left. I also mentioned to remove the sensor dust, that I now found out after seeing the original, that it was water run-off. The version I saw had been edited already and looked like a little sensor dust.

I'll take the blame on this one and wish somehow the DQ could be overturned.

I am so sorry Lisa.

Nah - totally candid, didn't even know what I had really until I got the pics out of the camera.

What he's getting "squeezed" out of is the stage monitor/speaker blocking off his legs. I did a different edit and now the foreground shows better than it did, now showing some of the stage equipment. (refresh to see changes)

I was the one getting squeezed - high-energy crowds are fun!

Aside from a bit too much lack of skin texture in my opinion, it's awesome!

This is so soft and dainty. Nice use of minimal depth of field.
