This is really a beautiful portrait. Its mesmerizing! Those eyes! They could pierce a dark room. Surely, with that kind of beauty, she is crying about something else besides an almost indiscernable birthmark. Surely she must be. I hope she has plenty to smile about with the score she is getting :)

Wow, so sweet to look at this, just really into this shot, assume you focused on the cloud? your sky is so defined, and those streaks of rain...I love the rain, and have bad luck taking photos in it. I guess it was only drizzling? Looks great, as does the foreground and shallow DOF which smoothed out the trees; Fav!

Rainbow

Comment by adrian45:
This is a lovely rainbow shot - I am always disappointed in mine, as the camera just doesn't seem to capture the richness and transparency of the bands of color, and there is generally a too-warm look, which muddies the color, but this one is very close to reality. I can't wait for 3D to hit digital photography - it will revolutionize many things, rainbows being one to get a great boost, and probably lightning too; I only have a basic photoshop and wonder where the pano tools come in - well done with the pix, though!

Catch Light

Beautiful shot - most crispy where in focus - I imagine a tiny aperture might have given a deeper depth of field, but this shallow focus image concentrates on the important pupil, which gives it more slap in the eye - so, well done, Claire!

Boy, this is a really well-executed picture - it helps as I don't know of the album you mention, but the image is first-rate.

What patience and care went into it - if you don't already, I would consider doing this as a living - you have it all sewn up, so far as I can see

All the best for the future!
