Wonderful portrait, strikes me as a jagar...signature contrast and compositional thought. The reflection is quite interesting in that the crutches are not present, as if we are seeing the man without the disability. It is this nuance that makes this a dynamic photograph, one to remember.

The foreground vehicle is fantastic. Bit bummed that you lost your DOF via the tone mapping, an odd visual illusion. When you fix that flat, I have a gathering to cater.

Lovely DOF and tones. You know, he looks like he could use a good polish! 8

Reminds me of paulbtlw with the exception of the sharpening. Beautiful model and light.

The Eye - Portrait in the style of Andrzej Dragan

Stark, yet excitingly bland...must be the light and shadows. Despite the blood oozing from the wounds of this razor sharp image (can I borrow that patch?), I like it. And stop looking at me like that, it's creepy! 8

This is a classic. The high contrast gives an instant edgey mood to image, but it's tempered by the cat's expression...the blurred left third makes me feel I'm right there, stalking the cat with you.

Fantastic enegetic candid; great tones tones and filmish look.

Thank you for a wonderful morning Deb. Our daughters seemingly adore you, and the images were fantastic as always. Can't let this go by without a honorary Sterling Sturgeon for all of the above and: "remember the nice lady with the camera who ate at Ruby's on the pier...went to Tunnel Beach with us...last summer...with the man named Lev from San Diego...remember her? When do we see her again?".
