If you eliminate the woman from the picture, it would be a spectacular shot. The woman looks fine, but the baby has such an interesting look on her face, with her eyes looking to one side like she's thinking of something. If you have another shot of the background, it would be worth the effort to lay it over the picture of the woman. With the blur of the background, it shouldn't be hard to blend in the overlay.

It's so puzzling. I like it. Bravo.

Yes, it's a marvelous lens. When you come to Milan, let me know and I'll give you some recommendations for sights and restaurants. If you'd like, I'll show y 'all around. Of course, your friends will probably do that. Still, let me know if you need anything while you're here.

When I die, I'd like to be buried inside that tree. Just put me in there standing up and cement it closed. I love bryophytes and the like.

Nicely photographed, by the way. Thanks for posting it.

Very well done. I love storm clouds in general--the color and feel. The addition of a setting sun to give the objects a yellow light, though, adds to the intensity. Gravo.

Women look so good carrying a Leica camera. It should be a regular accessory. So much better than an ipod. Excellent photo, too.

This is such a nice photo. It would be good if you could brighten it a bit. This guy has such a great look. He looks like a relative of the Marx brothers. Did you take more shots of him? He would be a wonderful person to have as a model.

Excellent photo. Children are wonderful to photograph. It's a shame so many people worry too much about having their children photographed. They need to be protected, but they also need to be celebrated.

Might have been even cooler if you could have someone standing there holding something in their hands, with the light beaming into their hands. It wold look like that movie Starman from 1984.

I like the texture of her skin. Most photographers hide texture with lighting techniques. That may be necessary with some people who don't have nice skin. Still, I like that you bring out the texture of her skin. I see the same in other photos you've posted here of other models. It makes the image, the woman more real. It makes the photo more sensual. I don't mean sexual. Instead, I mean sensual in that it makes the viewer call upon their sense of touch: one can almost touch and feel her face. Bravo.

You can't go wrong taking photographs of a lighthouse. Well done.
