    Tom, those are some of the nicest photos I've seen from a Renaissance Faire! :D

    I'm a fan of the first shot, it has superb tones and lighting, it's very beautiful!

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Take care!

    Nice photo's for sure!

    Don't know if its just me or not but i think the second one has to bright of a background and it just pulls her into it.

    Number 1 catches me the most. The angel looks thoughtful and otherworldly, but the tree trunk brings it back down to earth. I like it! thumb.gif The only things I would try to fix are the weird glows on her face and right arm.

    That glow is her makeup, kinda weird.

    My fav is 4- I work with kids a LOT, and this ornery expression is PERFECT! It really captures those boys and their fun spirit!

    Hey thanks, I think I used a bigma for that one. Many don't use it for portraits but I love it for the long focal length to get compression and shallow DOF. It's softer than top notch prime lenses but it's ok to have a touch of softness for portraits. The biggest thing is to kneel down to eye level with the kids.

    That first one actually made me say 'whoa' out loud-- not at all what I was expecting, and a great capture!
