Thank you. Unfortunately, some jacka$$ reported the photo on Facebook, and now over 1200 likes and 100 comments are gone. I am so disappointed in people.
As much as I loved the first one, I love the latest one even more. Their expressions and the way their hands are holding each other just has so much emotion to it.
Gorgeous! Love it in black and white. The affection you show your family comes out in how I see them treating each other. It's nice to see you toy with B&W, it's a whole new ball game. With my monitor, your daughter's hand appears a little bright, but just a tad.

I'm going to make a list in notepad, Gorgeous, beautiful, great colors, lovely children, how cute, good PP, beautiful model, etc. Then when I reply to your posts I'll just have to cut and paste.
I wanted to clarify that the 2nd image (and edit) are over 4 years old now. I can see issues with it now that I wouldn't have seen then, but didn't really feel like going back and re-editing the image. I also like seeing the progression in my work through 2 very similar images over the course of several years.

I'm with you Ed. I don't comment all that much anymore on your photos Lisa because I feel like a broken record. There are some genres of your work that I like better than others, but from a technical standpoint they are all superb.
I will say this, though: I am floored that this photo would be removed from Facebook. Completely floored!

I think it pays to have a big family. Their lack of privacy allows the kids to be a little more open with themselves which is a good thing. Most teen girls would never dare such a photo. Kudos on a loving family first, and second for taking some wonderful photos.

This is such a captivating image. I can't stop stopping by to look at it. This time I noticed that those two kids have the exact same nose.
Yeah I noticed that is well. I think it is quite amazing that they are 14 years apart and have the same noses. I mean of course they should given their relation and all but imo seeing something like the nose similarity gives me a little glimpse of something quite amazing. Great shots.
