This little girl spoke no English and my German isn't very good. It was a bit of a challenge to get expressions out of her, but here are a few that I liked.

    I think it is great set but #5 is my favorite.

    Excellent
    Really good work. I like the tone of #5 and think maybe the others could use a warm up maybe?

    Excellent work in any language.

    Obviously #5, but really like #3. Very nice as always.

    You've hit a great "niche" here. Just love the colors and warmth.

    Possibly. I tend to desaturate the colors of the scenes a bit to give it a bit of a vintage feel, sort of like color sepia.

    Thanks!

    Yup, the props are all me. Scoured garage sales and antique shops and the like and developed scenes with them over time.

    Thanks a lot.

    Yeah, so far, so good, getting a fair amount of referrals on this. Thanks for the kudo's!

    Great stuff but that last one really rocks Bryce. You really have this theme/setup nailed.

    I agree with everyone who says 5 is the clear winner. Great shot.

    Really terrific styling. Maybe it's just me, but with the exception of the last one, these seem pretty dark and moody to me. Looking at the histograms confirms they're dark overall. Would it hurt the shots to brighten them up just a little bit?

    Thanks for the input.

    I wholeheartedly agree that by today's standards they could/should certainly be brightened. The look is designed to give somewhat of a vintage look and feel that gives the impression of standards of 100 years ago.

    I think all five are money shots. Most certainly frameable and I see them hung on walls as soon as I saw them. You have really hit you're stride Bryce! Excellent work sir. bowdown.gif

    Bryce do you have a larger res? Something frameable, looks like 4X6 is the largest offered? I would be very interested in buying several of these my friend. FYI, my wife fell in love with them.

    Thank you so much for what I consider the ultimate compliment. This was a paid for session and I'm not sure it would be cricket to sell, or even provide for free, someone's child as a printable image.

    I will talk to the parents when I see them again. If they don't have a problem, you can have a full size for free.

    Bryce, you are a master, my friend.
    Obviously, if your client wants the desaturated, vintage look, you can provide it. If they want a more "true" image, why you have that too. The important thing is that you got the image. These are wonderful. And, I say again, that BG is the best I've seen anywhere.

    You're most welcome sir, credit where credit is due, just let me know if they decide they don't mind, my wife would be thrilled if so, if not, understood and respected. Her first words were "so precious" lol. Thanks for sharing, these are awesome. The clients should be thrilled for sure.
