50 pounds and counting

Hey, John. Congrats on the loss. I lost about 50 pounds doing WW online (same user name), using the older flex plan. I'm still registered and paying monthly but no longer counting or even trying all that hard. I've also regained almost 40 pounds in the last 2-3 years. :-/

Don't let that happen to you. I've never been able to sufficiently remotivate myself.

You look like a new man!

Day 1 @ 50mm

Yup, interesting bokeh, but for me the colors really make this work. The background looks almost "autumnal."

I really like the sense of motion and the DOF, and I think the b&w is a good choice.

Excellent tones, and as others pointed out, her beautiful eyes really pop. There's something a little odd where her hair (photo top right) meets the background, either a shadow or a hastily blended effect.

Nice candid, it's revealing without being exploitative or intrusive. I like that he is alone in that seating area while people behind are going somewhere. Good eye to see the dramatic light.

Oooh, I'm a sucker for cute pet shots. Awesome job on the focus, the eyes are just right!

PS: "Oooh" is said in a completely manly tone.

I like the boldness and especially the black center of the flower as the focal point.

Nice, "real life" shot, cool venue, and not too much PP at all! You really rescued a dark photo by judicious lightening/brightening. Good to be sharing another side challenge.

Good start, and what an interesting WIDE lens. Wonder how it would look with more water / less house ?

Cheerful bouquet, clear without being razor-sharp. Is the bit of red another flower? Doesn't seem to match the pastels!
