Congratulations to DanielScott for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 10 votes - View Previous Winners
A few of my favorites from a photo session I did this week with my friend Alex, who is a retired USMC. These are part of an ongoing project I have been working on since Spring where I photograph ruggedly handsome men in wildflowers, with the goal of creating romantic images of men in scenes they would uncommonly be photographed in. To be honest, I don't know how comfortable I feel sharing images from other sessions in this project, since they are less ambiguous compared to these, and the general response I have received from men on images like that in forums and groups in recent years has been generally homophobic, much more so than usual. Depending on the general reception to these photos, I'll consider sharing others from this project.
Photographed using a Canon 5D MKIII with a 35mm lens and an 85mm lens, and lit using natural light and a silver reflector.
I commented on your entry in the "WA" brother but will add it here also!
God Bless this soldier and we ALL should thank him for his sacrifice to keep us free.
Semper Fi Marine!
Well done brother!

The "Queen Ann's Lace" is most fitting here Daniel! It was used in many paintings from centuries ago! Longevity...

For some reason sharing images from flickr to fmforum has been having issues lately. I get broken image icons instead of it showing the images.
Edit: It seems to have fixed itself. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Yes but it usually disappears then reappears....
It is "FM" brother and I don't mean Fred Miranda!

Daniel, beautiful imagery as usual! I feel this is a great tribute to our brave men and women in the military, my husband is a vet and hope that your images will help others appreciate the sacrifices our vets have made to keep us safe.

This joke is going over my (follically challenged) head.
I have had "skin cancer" since I returned from SE Asia in 1969...My "follically impaired" head looks like a "checkerboard" with all the "pre cancerous" growths discolorations of skin removed by liquid nitro freezing the cancer!

I remember you telling me about this a few weeks ago. Glad you keep the cancer in check.
Might be high time to do as Alex here did and get that noggin tatted up!
Let your own intuition be your guide Daniel but I say let lesser men wallow in their own insecurities. I always enjoy your work and these are excellent. TFS
