    Brilliant shots. Love them both. Good location and cracking looking model. The moon shot has to be the better for me.

    As always I really like your work. #1 is my favorite of the two. What a thrill to have an experience seeing that walking down a trail. Your ourdoor shoots are my favorites.

    You know, as it often happens, some of the best things are totally unplanned for.. We were planning for some honey light time before the sunset and we intended to play "fashion show", for which she brought a couple of outfits, etc. But when I saw her (just) in jeans... I said "forget the dress, we're shooting "as is"... rolleyes1.gif
    Also, I miscalculated the time a bit (first time ever, I swear, I'm ususally watching the clock like a hawk), so we didn't have any time for retakes... But this one came out fairly decent...

    Nik, #2 I think is a beautiful body study - pose, expression, lighting, molding, tone superb! I'd like to transport just the figure into a candlelit 19C French salon and put it down on a chaise longue in front of velvet drapes and floral wallpaper, next to a tall glass of ruby wine. (Well, yes, you could bring the orange chiffon, if you insist!)

    clap.gif Yes my intention was to stretch you, Nik, not to restrict you! So bring it anywhere you like (and bring some French 19C salon with it!mwink.gif)! And while on the topic, have you tried any Tasmanian spring lamb yet?

    Amazing 3D effect here!!! How!!! WA cropped?

    Negative on the lamb, haven't found a place that serves it yet... ne_nau.gif

    Yes, it's was a WA (my late 10-22, recently sold to Jeremy, may it serve him as well as it did me, or better), but not much of a crop.. The place itself has a very nice "spacial" layout, and of course, the right angle and the right lighting just added to the effect.
