keckman- 20 posts in 8 years and u post here....I am truly honored. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment on my work. I am glad you like it. I do have them in the frame however it was really really windy and mommy\'s hair was being blown all over the place. Being that the shot was more about the baby I decided to close in on her with the crop. I will get them all in the reshoot.
benee - thanks for the kind words, I really enjoy your FPJ work and it means a lot to me coming from you. I know what you mean about the family shot...i snapped a few but it was just too windy and I knew mommy was concerned about her hair so I just omitted those for now. Ill get them on the next shoot. Glad you like them!
Jim - I always appreciate the in depth critique you give on all threads you comment on, whether mine or not. You are an asset to the community! Thanks for pointing out those things, the one thing I am not so clear on are the thumbs. I actually thought i caught just enough to show that she was in some sort of cavern looking out...without the thumbs I thought I lost that. Can you elaborate more on why it doesnt work so I can understand and not make that mistake again...I could always crop it
trumpet_guy - I knew it!! I usually make it very small and about 30%-50% transparent but wanted to try and mimic what I had seen elsewhere with a very stark watermark that I liked....i think it was HOFFER...what do you recommend I do to minimize its draw? Just take them out?
fixedgearmike - thanks Mike, its my favorite too!
Thanks to all for the positive response, I am also surprised based on crappy the day was. This is a good moral booster!
vawill84 - ...i know...i gotta get the family portrait next time and will for sure share with you guys again. I spoked to daddy who seemed to like them, looking forward to hearing what mommy has to say about them so i can incorporate into the next session. thanks for looking, glad you like them!
RianFlynn + coresare - She is ADORABLE....certainly made the gloomy day easier to deal with.
innovis - thank you kind sir, I like how that sounds! I appreciate your vote of confidence!
neighbourboy - She wasn\'t really camera shy, the wind just wasn\'t playing nicely with her hair which was in her face or blowing in someone\'s face half the time. Real bummer with the weather but still happy i walked away with some usable shots. Number 1 was my favorite too, Im really glad you like them, I certainly enjoy your FPJ work!
