What a gorgeous shot! I very much prefer portraits with a soft quality like this, especially for children and women.

I like this because it almost looks as though she just stepped into your line of view and you snapped the shot. Her eyes, nose and gorgeous little mouth are in focus, and are very expressive, and the softness throughout the rest of the shot just draws your eyes right to her beautiful little face.

I definitely agree with just-married, if she were mine, this would be framed and hanging in the house, the office, the grandparents,....!

I'm kind of "into" dragonflies lately, and this has to be one of the best shots I've seen. The color is just stunning, and the detail is unbelievable. I think I see your reflection on his head - oop, just kidding! I cannot imagine how you got this close. I can chase the darn things all day and they never let me get this close. Great shot.

I love bird shots myself, and I love this. I love that it makes you want to reach out and touch the feathers. Great lighting and detail.

Banana leaf

It took me a moment to realize that the green was the negative space, NOT the leaf! An imaginative shot with bold color and composition, not to mention terrific lighting.

What a great shot, and what an amazing view. I can't wait to find out where this was taken. This image has almost a magical, mystical look and feel to it that is just wonderful. At first, I thought that the industrial "smokestack" would detract from the overall feel of the shot, but no; it almost feels like an anomaly, an anachronism that adds to the unreal quality of the shot. Whatever...I love it.

Wow, if this isn't a inspirational poster, I don't know what is! I absolutely love the color on this shot, it's what "makes" it for me.
