I think the fact that he outgrew it makes it even more fun. Great DOF.

I had a good friend who had pet rats when I was a kid. She loved them just like this girl seems to, but I just couldn't get past the fact they were rats. Nice lighting.

I saw you mention this in the negative space thread and I disagree that the negative space detracted from the photo. Maybe it's a six-in-one scenario but I think that if there is a problem (and a 6.6 in a free study demonstrates there isn't) it's the centered composition with his eyes leading down to the left. The viewer will naturally follow the eyes, so I feel that when eyes are not looking at the camera they need to be off center, and when looking down to the left, as here, he should be placed in the top right corner to give the photo the best balance, though this is a very minor quibble.

The area over his right shoulder could have had more instruments, etc., and it still would have felt slightly unbalanced, so I don't believe it's the negative space that's caused any compositional problems.

Regardless it's an awesome photo and incredible processing and I think I need some new software damn it.

Lovely reflections. Clear, detailed landscape. And I did not even know that 4.5 is not the best apperture for landscapes. Hmm... interesting things you pick up by reading these posts. Great way to learn.

Love the emotion you captured, even with her sunglasses on you know exactly what she is thinking.

Wow, that place seems like a pretty location for some medieval or fairy-tale themed shoot.
