    Good work Ben. I like the catchlights in her eyes, especialy since she is backlit and the couple seeds floating through the air. Your background separation ain't to shabby either.

    Hey, neat! To me the picture almost looks 3D, with how well she stand out against the blurry background. I like it. thumb.gif

    The way the sun is creating the rimlight and the DOF makes this photo AMAZING !!!!! I love it.

    Thanks Nick.
    I'm lucky to have such cooperative girls who let me practice my fill flash technique.

    Really happy you like thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Maybe a smaller aperture at f11 would have made your background a little better. But the blurred looks good too. Good job.

    that's great all the same reasons I dig it.
    I always worry about images that are personal to me (loved ones), because I think I'm reading more into the shot then is actually there rolleyes1.gif

    Great image Ben! I love how Mother Nature is blowing her hair at the very moment she is blowing the seeds away. Nice balance of fill lighting. Great use of bokeh.

    Good stuff all around. thumb.gifthumb
