Wow, David...talk about fill-the-frame portraiture! That's one big, strong dude! Even though we can't actually see what he's doing here, your composition and capture of his expressive face relays to us the exertion of his efforts in a way that has a lot of impact. Another really great candid!

Sandy voiced my thoughts exactly...desaturate the reds a bit and you've got a real winner here.

Nice one, David! I can't count the number of times I see interesting looking people that I would love to photograph, but don't, because I'm still just too self conscious about drawing negative attention to myself. I really like portraits like this one that show us something about who a person is. Good job!

Originally posted by TDCollins: I love Daniel's eyes. Question for you Erin. Is Daniel & Tess interested in what you do with the photos you take of them? Do they always want to see the final results? They always seem to be willing participants.

My kids' willingness to participate in a photo shoot varies dramatically, depending upon their mood at any given moment. Daniel is by far the more tolerant of the two, which is the reason that I have been posting so many more photos of him than of Tessa. Tessa wants to see the finished product to make sure it meets with her approval, and I do think that she likes many of the images, although the process is not something that she enjoys tremendously. Daniel has a very artistic eye, and is good at offering suggestions for fine tuning my shots. He is more understanding of my need to pursue my photography since he has similar artistic compulsions. He also rather likes the idea of being "famous" as the subject of so many of my photos. Thanks for asking, David. I do appreciate all of your lovely comments. :)

It's just TOO cute the way his little hand is perched on his chin, Sandy. This is a perfectly captured moment of deeply mutual admiration. Another gem!!!
