Priviet, dear friends-DGriners (and guests!).
Today's shots inside our multipex SPARTAK and some outside.

1 Oh, its so hard to choose a proper pose.

2 One of the main things - to relax (a lot of talking....)

3 This composition first appeared in my mind (including sepia) and then we made it...

4 It wasnt easy to compose this pose - I disengage myself from colors, forms, leaving only lines...

5 Trying to catch the expression...

6 And yes, eyes are always the center of my compositions...

7 This happend during our session :-)

8 She must be thinking : what this mad photographer is going to do next...

Beautiful as usual Yuri.

But, I have to ask did you scratch your name on the railing or is that photoshop? I like the effect if you did it in photoshop.

wow, i don't know how you saw that, great catch!

yuri, awesome job! i think 6 is my favorite of the set.

I found it a couple reasons. One is that I have always found Crylic writing to be very interesting. No, I cannot read it, I just think it looks neat. Two, I was looking at the lighting and shadows to figure out how he lit the shot. Naturally I was looking at the shadow lines and saw the Pautov and remembered it was his last name. First thought was that he scratched his name. Then I thought maybe that is photoshop. But, I cannot zoom in right now to look at it in detail.

One thing I have not figured out, and really it does not matter, is what the silver ring around the post is. It looks like a bike padlock but I cannot tell for sure. Yas, I know, I look for weird stuff in photos.

#6 is beautiful portrait but #5 is a great photograph. Excellent work and variety in this series Yuri. I think you should try this more often!

Yuri,
Once again - total success!
Nice work on that scribble on the bridge rail

Another great set of images, Yuri.

#6 is definitely my favourite. Is it the tighter crop or is the lady more photogenic from her side than compared to her left side (#4)?

Thanks for sharing.

So many folks - so many thoughts...
No #6 is not a crop - it was a "text" as I call it photosession to find proper points of shooting, best foreshortenings and so on...
Spasibo, Gene!

Yuri:

Nice job but your model doesn't have much variety of expression. She's very cute-- I just don't get a sense her personality is showing through in these images. Just my opinion, of course.

Nimai

From my eyes, you live a heavenly life! She's so beautiful, it hurts!
I particularly love #5, emerging from under the bridge - it looks like a breath of fresh air.
Thank you.

Great work once again. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with #6.

Lynie

Six is also my favorite! Great work! I learn so much from you guys! Excellent!

#5 for me... I like the composition, the expression. I really feel the story behind the pic.
The tunnel brings something great, a separation between the city behind and what she feels right now. Kind of brings a great background...

Moreover, she really reminds me of the nice doctoress in Prison Break...

Sure I can only imagine the feelings of Julia, when she'll read your words.

Hmm, it's a tough one. Different meanings depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities

• Prank, to prank
• Do smth "just for the fun of it" (I think this would be the most appropriate for this particular case)
• Have a good laugh about smth
• A joke (also, a practical joke)
