Hey, Richard, that guy in number 2 better watch out for that big nosed ogre on his tail. It's about to pounce!

Hi Richard,
Really like #1 and #2.

#1 because of the comp and angle and also because he's walking with his hand behind his back (reminds me of my Dad).

#2 because of the beast--he's his own worst enemy.

I like this set very much with its related theme. I tend to characterize your style as finding a setting with great compositional elements and then waiting for a person to happen along to complete the picture.

One and two are great shadows/contrast. The third one shows off that wonderful late afternoon lighting and is handled well.

Richard

Thanks everyone.

Rainbow: Yeah, one of the things I do is see a background and wait for the foreground to fall into place. Part of it is composition, but recently I've been paying more attention to the light. #1 is a good example. But as often as not, I just see something and grab it, which happened in #3.

Good capture of light in these Richard. I love the monster in #2 - reminds me of my imagination at work at bedtime many moons ago.

Thanks Patti. The wrinkles in the jacket gave it teeth.

Thanks, Nir. BTW, I posted a rather funny one from the same session in Other Cool Shots. You might enjoy it.
