As you can tell by the fact I started a thread about benches, I rather like them as subjects. I think JP added some interesting thoughts about what draws us to them in the first place. I like the lighting in this shot - helps create that peaceful sometimes melancholy sense a place like this can give. Pretty good composition, but not being able to see where the back is anchored leaves it kind of hanging in a way. Love the texture of the wood contrasted with the stone, too.

I'll go with "cute" and "don't shave". You did a good job with the lighting, though maybe just a very wee bit of a yellow cast. Great job with the catchlight in the eye, particularly with glasses.

What a fun picture! I missed this one. Way underscored, imo. Yes, it's overexposed but that works for me, particularly when you're emphasizing winter, which if you're somewhere it snows (and you are) winter in general during the daylight hours is wickedly overexposed. I like the way you've filled the frame - with the hat (muts?), the scarf, your face (of course), your hand, and just the bit of your hair on the one side. Like I said - a very fun picture! Nice work.

That's a candid? Looks like a professionally lit studio portrait! Awesome capture!
