I love the variety you offer. They won't be able to narrow it down since there are so many good and different images. You are really stretching, trying new things and doing a fine job executing them.
5 stands out, 19 is terrific and 20 is such fun! If you don't get featured thread, you were robbed!
Great series Ron. The jumpshot is so perfectly aligned and has a nice facial expression to boot. Not an easy thing to do. Love the reflection picture as well.
Thanks, sibirdie and innovis! We actually really had to work on her facial expression for that jump. At first, she was focused on getting her feet and hands right, totally didn't think about her expression.
These are great pictures. The moon shot is great. One thing I thought of when looking at it was to have moved the light source to light the face as if it was the moon lighting her. No idea if it would have worked, but something I might try myself sometime.

Great set!
If the moon was lighting the face, we wouldn't see it. It would be lit on the far side. Or am I missing something?
Technically yes. However, given that she is kissing the moon, the illusion/point of the photo IMO is to make the moon appear to be on the same plane as the face. Therefore you could imagine the light source being as if there was a light bulb right in front of her face where the moon is. Perhaps even keeping the same lighting but adding a snooted light to her face to give a bit of 'glow' from the moon?

Nice shots! Ron, could you share the lenses you used in those shots?
Thanks! It goes back and forth between the 70-200 and the 85mm f/1.4G. (I'm a Nikon guy.) A couple may have been shot with the 24-70 (the laying on the grass one, and possibly the silhouette jump). Happy to say that the 24-70, while I really like the lens, is getting benched as I just picked up the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens. Looking forward to rocking that lens!
