Hi folks.
I am new here. I spent hours in the awesome site yesterday and was pleasantly blown away. When I get home I will comment on many of my favorite images and share a few of mine as well.
For now I leave you with a few recent ones. C.C. always appreciated!
Thanks javier

    Welcome! Looking forward to more of your work. #3 is my favourite of the series.

    Welcome to DGrin!

    Nice set of shots. #1 is neat with the three painted faces in the shot. #3 is really a fun capture.

    Hi Folks. Thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. Hopefully I can make some time this afternoon to comment on many wonderful photos.
    I have been super busy at work and have had little time the past few days for fun. But tonight is looking good.
    Thanks javier

    Welcome to your new addiction Javier:D .

    Really enjoyed your series, in particular #3 and #4. I like the lack of a reaction on the lady walking by, she just walked right past the almost naked girl on a bike screaming! maybe she didn't see herne_nau.gif . Great and well timed shot.

    #4 is a very tender moment and look you captured. I like the hint of the stroller and diaper bag and the little hand sticking up of the older sibling and the backdrop is awesome too.

    Welcome and like the rest, looking forward to more posts from you.

    you.
    Looks to me like the woman passing behind has headphones on, so is likely tuned out o her surroundings.

    I saw the earphones but the lady on the bike was coming right at her from the opposite direction almost naked and screaming, lol, I just can't get over that. Maybe she has her eyes closed toorolleyes1.gif .

    That is one seriously tuned out lady.

    Thank you very much. I am a sucker for affection and amour. I love family's and couples in particular. I love the feeling of being right there which is why 90% of my images are with a 24mm prime on APS-C or 35 to 40 on full frame.

    This is one of my favorites but I was so concerened by trying to catch the moment that I was shooting right into the sun, very hurried and tried to save it with pp that I am not very good at. Still, I like this one.

    Javier,
    I like your two additional shots. The one that you shot against the sun is noisy, but still works, I can see why it's one of your favorites. Il like the rim of light around the two lovebirds.

    The second one of the new set is great too--I love the body language, the frown on his face, the awkward angle of her arm and again the background is just great.
