    Hi all,

    I really liked the fireman shot made by "Hot_Shot", by the way. Great mood.

    Nimrod.

    Thanks Nimrod...really nice of you to say so and your shot isn't too shabby either!

    I think you have external links turned off in your gallery, can't see the pictures in your post (but digging for the urls in the page source works).

    Three candid photos with emotion

    The torture of having an older sister!

    Agony
    living-hell-web.jpg

    Grumpy's Machine (that's what the sign in front of his "fixed" engine said (fixed as in "stationary" not repaired!)

    PA020040.jpg
    (oddly enough he was anything but Grumpy, we had a very nice chat about his machines), but he sure looks it in this shot! :lol

    Perhaps this says even more by the complete lack of emotion in their faces, but I was really taken by hers (simply because it was so unusual, nothing to do wit beauty or ugliness, just so different) and the way they passed in quiet solitude, together yet alone..

    Well this is the first time I have entered a challenge, and i'm not to good at the B+w conversin yet. I don't know if this one fits since it is not a face shot but I think it still has emtion in it.

    Some men see things as they are an say "Why?"
    I dream things that never were and say
    "Why Not?"

    definitely has emotion, as to whether is could strictly be called a "portrait" is another matter since a portrait is by definition a likeness showing the subject's face, but its a very emotional photograph none the less. Nicely done.
