p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Vicky, St. Louis

This is the woman who tolerates me on a daily basis and keeps me grounded. She is also the 1 that changed my mind about women (ha ha ha), and now I am back to believing in true love and marriage and all that romantic bs which my rational brain keeps rejecting.

FM used to be way more active a few months ago, so what happened to everybody? Moved on to other sites/apps?

My pick is the first image. The 200 f/2 (both Canon and Nikon) is a cracker of a lens.

My sense is that photo forums are on their last legs. I see a similar decrease in volume on Luminous Landscape as well.

😕😕😕😕

I deleted my only social media account, Facebook, many months ago. It has been peaceful since. I wonder what will replace this wonderful forum (FM) in the years to come. It was our safe space on the net, away from the meanness of other social media sites.

All good, but love #4! The look back, but knowing she is going forward into the hazy unknown. Brilliant!

"This is the woman who tolerates me on a daily basis"

Oh wow Saak, so you have a baby sitter too?! LoL
I like #4 the best. Probably because I like the way the Bokeh blends into the distance and the fog.
I think for me the others all look a little to wildlife for me with that patch of very sharp grass/branches right under her and the rest OOF. I Don't think minimal Bokeh is always the best choice. I has to go with the environment.
They are all nice shots and I'm sure she was very happy with all of them. Nice shots all!
