Nice expression.
Welcome back to posting here.
Shoot more, post more, comment more, learn more!
Hey Steady Hand,
I've been shooting almost every day. And now I'm studying at the university which makes it even harder to find some time in between to edit photos and upload them on the Internet.

Looks a little over-exposed on my monitor.
Hey Curtis,
you're the first one to mention that, so I think it must be your monitors fault.
I'm sorry for that.

Love it exactly as is. Gorgeous shot. I do wonder if it would look as good, or better, or not so good, with a slight reduction in exposure?
Hey Rodolfo,
I tried and it doesn't look as good as this version, believe me.
I'm looking forward to some more comments.
Thanks everyone.

Sorry, I don't understand. Who is that?
A previous poster above - who made a similar comment. Actually - the highlights are slightly blown (that's measurement not the monitor) and the image very light - but partly a matter of taste I suppose.
Well, why don't you just show us more awesome 135L pics from a 5D2 huh? My wallet is gonna hate you...
I like #1 the way it is. So sharp and the eyes are exposed just right, so everything is peachy with me. #2 is equally good, nice work with scattered light patches!
#1 might be the tiniest bit blown, but I think that's right where it should be. A photo like that has to have an overall brightness. One stop darker might have been technically correct, but the photo would have suffered.

I prefer the effect in the second image.
Ohh I see, that's ok.

I like both images.
One for expression (top)
Second for expression (different from laugh) AND exposure AND composition.
I hope that helps you....and you did a good job with both models. Nice to see and have this kind of expressive and "summer" image in your file.
Thanks, Steady.
Just to clarify.. it's one and the same model in both pictures.
But when you don't see that, it means we did a good job I suppose?

I REALLY like it.
That's what I'm talking about, right there.
I'm glad you see it the same way I do. Sometimes you gotta mess around with photography rules.
Ohh by the way, if you wanna see a short behind the scenes video check my blog on www.le-photographer.blogspot.com (you can see even more out takes and making offs):
