I do feel like this is some of my best work yet. I am very pleased with the results.

This was taken with the lighting from my livingroom window. The original seemed to bright. The effect I was looking for was a painted effect. I toned the colors down with some sepia color.

I didn't tell her to pose in any way. She was playing with the flowers and I was just taking pictures. This is naturally her style. Grrr.... She is also going through a stage where she refuses to let me put her hair up except when she goes to dance.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Merry Kissmas!

This should have done better. But you messed up by putting some cool effects on it. ;) Very nice shot Gordon!

I like it just the way it is. I love the background. I see alot of flower shots with black or white background and that is fine, but I like yours because it looks untouched and not set up. I love the colors!!

Nice focus and framing. It is a little to bright for my taste. Nice subject.

What a fun time. The subjects are in the right spot. the lighting is good. I love the way you captured the snow falling. The people seem to bit out of focus.

Great photo! One of my favorites. I love the stars from the flash and the beautiful smoothness of the blue paint. Makes me want to put my fingers in it.
