Wow! Wish we had a scene like this in the U.S.! Gorgeous! Not the biggest fan of the composition, something really needs to warrant a squarish crop for me. I go back and forth though, because the texturing in the clouds really does add. hhmmm.

You'll always get extra credit points from me when veteran's are a subject :) This is a great shot, and I really like howt he clouds seem to swirl around the memorial!

I REALLY like the idea of this photograph, but I'm lost in the story. Sorrow, sadness, a cane, a fence, a sign that says to call the "maritans", which reads "martians" to me. Perhaps the story is that simple, when I desire to feel more. The grain effect works perfect though and the composition is really nice. The long shadows of days end really add to this.

The texture of his hair, the soft bakeh are really nice. It seems about a micrometer from absolute tack-sharp though, which is really what takes these to the next level for me.

An incredible capture, that's for sure, really beutiful. My only concern is the sun is only to the left of the frame, versus behind you. Worth sharing and being proud of regardless of the rules though! :D

At first I was thinking the door frame was distracting, but the more I look the more I like it. It adds depth to the scene. The composition is very well done as well, many "sunglass" shots simpley go verticle or full frame the face, but here it tells more story. I like it!

I really like the framing in this shot and the green colors of the houses really compliment the sky. I always look for photographer in the shadows though, Busted!! :D

Those are Nikon SB-R200 remote Speedlights triggered by a remote commander unit I had on the camera. I basically attached the camera to the tripod at a 45 degreee angle, put it on a timer and hoisted it above the table. 10 seconds later, the camera remotely triggered the flashes and you have the above picture. Here's a link to the systems: R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System
