It's been a crazy busy fall season and just haven't really had as much time as I like to be on the forum. Opening a studio on Feb. 1, so working toward that as well. Here's a few shots from the past month. Comments always welcome.
Liked 'em all, Ron. Excellent! I'd love to be there for your studio opening. BTW, I recognized your style before seeing your name. It's an accomplishment to have a recognizable style. Myself, I'm a global photographer (all over the map).

I really appreciate the comment that you're recognizing my style. That's a very good thing for me!
All of these are really great Ron! 2, 5, 6 & 11 are my favorites.
Best of luck with the studio opening. Hope you still do lots of outdoor shoots. This post is a fine example of just how well you do with natural backgrounds.
Thanks for sharing.
A few lucky shots there, Ron. You must have a nice camera. :-)
Just kidding. Same stellar work I'm used to seeing from you. That #11 jump is awesome.
#9 might be best as is. Add a background and take attention away from the guy? His face and some helmet parts are pretty bright - brighter than I would have chosen, but I'm liking it now that I see it that way.

Thanks, Greg. I'll always continue to do outdoor shots but not having a space to shoot in, and meet with clients, has always been a bit of a restriction for me. Plus, your being in MN, you understand this. There's like five months each year I can't shoot. I love being out in the snow in New Mexico and Colorado, but here in the frigid north, everything's just freaking frozen. You know what I"m talking about.

Hey Ron - looking good my friend!
I love #10 (and several others). The way the birds and tree and posts all frame it - really nice!

Ed, so good to hear from you! Hope you're still shooting your seniors! It's funny about that shot.
When I first shot No. 10, I didn't include the tree trunk, and she went and changed. While she was changing I was looking at that picture and realized I was using the branches and yellow leaves up top to frame her, but didn't include the tree trunk in the shot (I'm constantly fighting the urge to shoot tight). So when she came back, we re-shot it with the shot pulled back to include the trunk and I think it made a huge difference.

#5, #8, #10 & # 13 are really great shots, IMO.
I do have a nice camera, Jim!
Thanks! Helps to have talented people to shoot! As for 9, that's still a work in progress. I've had that shot in my mind for years, and finally got a catcher to shoot. I'm still not sure that's the shot I want to end up with. Still not sure if it should be that tight. And looking at it now, I'm thinking maybe it should be b&w? I do like how bright/contrasty it is. That's the part I feel certain about. Still thinking through it all though, and that's one of the reasons I post here, to get some feedback.
