the whole woody thing is yours, by that I mean I don't get it in an 'I can do it too' kind of way , bu† you have a special relationship with them, sort of Willy Wonka and the Oompa dudes..and wetting your woody takes time patience and yeah bravery...
now speaking of photography how comes the body is clean in focus and the feet are blurry...ahh the water created a different focal point through refraction...

Your chin looks funny back there :) hehe almost like your face is misshapen. I know it is because of your goatee, but it's still kinda funny :P Nice focus and GREAT clarity of the numbers on that lens.

Your light is pretty good in this! You have shadows on your neck and under your arms and hands. Gives a much more 3D look :)

May I make a suggestion? If you are having trouble learning your lighting set up, try using them one at a time. Use one light for 5 or 6 days until you get more comfortable with the camera settings and the light settings, then move to 2 lights, etc... It could just be that you need to back them up a bit or dial them down a hair :) Either way, the learning curve is steep with strobes (I still use constant lighting and even THAT took me what felt like forever LOL) and I am nervous about going that way (strobes) myself :P

Hmmm, just for the record, I don't think your stepson looks uncomfortable. It's a nice pose from both.

Nice, Art. Excellent clarity. I tried a similar setup yesterday at f/1.4 with a coworker holding a glue stick from Staples. Not only did I get too much glare on the object, the model's hand came out looking completely disembodied from the rest of her. Somehow this seems more natural (though you could probably pull the lens closer to your face and still get sufficient blur).

He's such a cute kid. In this photo it looks as if he's taking aim at his hand... I hope no fingers were smashed.
