A slightly disturbing Latin name of the dragonfly ;), but a gorgeous capture. Congrats!

Great self-portrait, Tibi! The contrast between "summer, sun" and "times" is palpable

No, Francesca is a neighbor. You might remember her from my entry 2 years ago

although her face is not very visible there. Back then she asked me for a photoshoot when she was pregnant with her first daughter.

And just a month ago she became a mom to two more beautiful babies and asked me for another session.

Nicely done, Lydia! If you caught one seed in flight, your shot could've been a winner!

Congratulations, Barbara! I didn't recognize your daughter but of course I immediately recognized the reference to the "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Great job recreating the vibe! Like I wrote to Jonathan, I envy you guys that you have easy access to your daughters as your models, mine is long gone from the house and lives across the continent.

Congratulations, both on your beautiful daughter and your beautiful portrait. I envy you, my daughter is all grown up and out of the house, across the country, so no more chance of using her as my go-to model ). The only nitpick I have, I would crop out the left part of the frame, possibly for a square format, that bright glare detracts from beautifully and softly lit face.

Very cool! Love the light bouncing off his face. What are those images - LED screens? Or real paintings/photos lighted from above?
