    Very nice, Eric. It's an interesting subject grouping and your conversion work has long been a favorite of mine.

    See you, buddy,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Great shot Eric. I like the spontaneity and the fact that they are not posed - and the BW conversion. clap.gif

    Nice shot and great clarity.

    Agree that this is a nice example where subjects are aware of you, yet they neither pose nor seem to mind that you are taking the picture. I am curious if this is just one of several such shots-and therefore the subjects began to relax.

    Nice Eric. I really like the shot ... but I find it very interesting is that it has this odd 2D-cardboard cutout/3D look.

    This shot is purely a candid grab mayfly... the young people were part of a larger group attending an outdoor celebration of some kind
    and were actually a fair distance away (200mm @ f8), on the other side of a large fountain.
    This was the last of 2 or 3 clicks and captured the best moment...
    and, it does seem that a couple of them had become aware of me - the threat to lower the zipper cracks-me-up. :giggle

    Credit clarity to the great performance of the Canon 70-200mm f4L IS USM.
    Thanks for commenting!

    Thank-you Gary - glad to catch your eye with this one!
    I hadn't thought about it in that way until you mentioned it, and you're spot-on in your observation...
    I think the effect is due to DOF and telephoto compression from the 200mm @ f8, and I purposely processed
    each color channel to create significant tonal separation between the subjects and the fore and backgrounds.

    Great pic and exposure! The facial expression on the female makes me wonder if she had "photo-bomb" in mind. A great black/white rendering! Well done.
