Thanks, Kevin. I'm glad you like it. Whenver possible I try to get things to look harmonious. The biggest problem in shooting Eva is that she doesn't like to comb her hair and it took the bribe of the ice cream to get her to be willing to submit ot a brushing and to having her hair pinned back with those lovely butterflies.

All the best,

Endre

Oh here we go again another slot in the finals gone. Not only a superb shot but first to post as well. I dont think its fair as i have two sons one 21 the other 10 and neither of them is sweet, maybe if we get a post on grumpy or moody or messy i stand a chance.
In the mean time i will just have to look at your fantastic work yet again.
Take care and good luck
Mark

Bring it on, Mikey! Bring it on.

I see you're over at Carrol's thread stirring up trouble, too!

Seriously, though, given your creativity and skill, I need to fear big-time.

All the best,

Endre

Thanks so much, Mark! So glad you like it! However, I have to warn you, if we ever have a WA on grumpy, moody, or messy, I've got those covered in-house, as well!

All the best,

Endre

As others have said, very nice shot... I can't tell if it is a shadow or photoshop remnants in the black background around the spoon and her arm, but it is every so slightly distracting... other than that, it is beautiful!

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like it. One other person mentioned that and I can't foir the life of me see what you are referring to either in my posting or in the original. In fact, the scond of my little tweaks was supposed to fix that since I went over that entire area several times with black paint to make sure that anything that might be there was all gone. I use a big Apple Cinema display monitor so I ought to be able to see such things but I cannot. Fred had some problems with his uploader not accepting edits to photos so I'm going to consult him and see if that problem is still ongoing. Thanks for the heads up.

All the best,

Endre

Hello Strad, your entry looks just like an advertisement! It makes me want to run and buy some mint ting-a-ling ice cream. Good luck this week!

Must be nice to have your own personal modeling agency A perfect expression, great lighting and tack sharp colorful shot.

Nice to see a very early entry from you. That way we all know where the bar sits before we start work on our own entries. Unfortunately, with this shot the bar sits rather high

Great entry and finalist,
Chad

I have been trying to think of something clever and witty to say about the ice cream or the dress, but I cant.
The image is just so sweet and loving and youthful...

...its just sweet.

Perfect for this WA, well done (again) Endre.

Once again, that incredibly sharp image. Looks so real that you could just walk right into it! Thanks for the details on the equipment and lighting. I was wondering the same. I agree with the comments as it is just beautiful....and sweet. Also that mound of ice cream is perfectly shaped too!

Thanks, Adam! I'm glad you like it. I guess I've been successful if I've managed to convey the topic without having to explain it.

All best wishes,

Endre
