Good work Ben. I like the catchlights in her eyes, especialy since she is backlit and the couple seeds floating through the air. Your background separation ain't to shabby either.

Hey, neat! To me the picture almost looks 3D, with how well she stand out against the blurry background. I like it. :thumb

The way the sun is creating the rimlight and the DOF makes this photo AMAZING !!!!! I love it.

Thanks Nick.
I'm lucky to have such cooperative girls who let me practice my fill flash technique.

Really happy you like :thumb

Maybe a smaller aperture at f11 would have made your background a little better. But the blurred looks good too. Good job.

that's great all the same reasons I dig it.
I always worry about images that are personal to me (loved ones), because I think I'm reading more into the shot then is actually there :rolleyes

Talleen (oldest Gk :D) was viewing this thread and wanted to know why she was not included. So I promised I'd add one of her :lust

Great image Ben! I love how Mother Nature is blowing her hair at the very moment she is blowing the seeds away. Nice balance of fill lighting. Great use of bokeh.

Good stuff all around. :thumb:thumb
