These are AMAZING, Ron! Seriously love them all, that is some great editing. I LOVE the creative crop in #3...makes it a whole different picture. You have a wonderful eye!!

Great examples and explanations, Ron, and some great final results.
Appreciate it, Eyeball! I'm pretty confident a number of things you've told me (and to others that I read) over time worked their way into these shots!

Thanks, Frank. I thought we would lose some of the energy of the shot by including the other girls, so I like the crop I went with on 3. As for 10, the flash is as much to get light into the umbrella and back down onto the subjects as it is to light the rain -- so the lights are pointed 45 degrees up, and 45 degrees away from the subjects with a wide zoom setting on the lights. For that final image, I used much of the rain and background from the shot with the video guy, so the trees were no longer in the picture.
As for No. 5, I don't really want the symmetry of having all three kids around the same height, so that's why I arranged them the way I did. Others might like the symmetry, just not me. Thanks for your comments!...Show more →
I think you are right. The girls don't have that fun explosion the guys bring to the plate. This is just one of these moments you need everything to fall in place. The guys are exceptional though ...
Really interesting to see these Ron - and great job on them all! Goes to show how much of a difference it can make having some strong digital darkroom skills.
Thanks, Frank and Ed! A lot of what insprires me, both in shooting and processing, is from what I see here on the FM People forum. I'm just hoping in some way I can give back.
