You did well to keep the face in sharp focus at 1/30 sec. here. This is my favorite slalom paddlers.

This is one of my favorites from yours. (Is it because I am female?) I like the light/dark contrast, the diagonal lines, and how the hood frames his face.

I really love the perspective here. It looks like she is ready to fly off into space. I also like the magenta/black color contrast and the two sets of parallel black horizontal and vertical lines.

I like your framing and composition here. The orange and black color contrast adds something as well.

Terry I am struggling with a decision to purchase this lens or a different one. How do you like your Nikon 24-85. It would be the perfect range/size/weight for me. I am wondering if it is sharp?

A most amazing shot. I expect some hobit or elf to come wandering out of the mist at any moment.

I love the color manipulation here. You have only posted two pictures here, but I can definitely see a style developing. Carry on! I want to see more.

This really does look like and abstract painting. I love the lines, especially the small white drip at the top and the weld seam on the right.

Thank you Janet, for your explanation. I too live in a small house (in Tokyo). I do use shallow DOF and sometimes "black out" the background by using a small aperature and a bounced flash. I will keep the white foam board in mind. I have recently converted a few of my granddaughter pictures into B&W. I will see if there are any I feel I can post on UF.

Hi Janet. I do really like this lens. As you can tell from my pictures, I love macro, so this lens spends a lot of time on my camera.

Janet, I know this is not a new post, but it is a perfect example of a question I have for you. So many of the pictures I have taken of my granddaughter are detracted by the cluttered background. You don't have anything "excess" in your backgrounds. Do you overpaint them? How do you do it?

Thanks, Chris. I was focusing on the very tip of the leaf, and I did get that in sharp focus, but I wish the whole edge of the leaf were in better focus. A slightly different angle might have done that for me. Shallow depth of field is really challenging and fun, but I do make a lot of mistakes.

This is a very tender image with excellent use of shallow DOF. I do wish just a little more of the dog were in focus though. Now, only 2 of his wiskers and the woman's lower lip are in sharp focus. Just a little more sharpness in the dog's nose would have been great.

Hello, Jim. I was so impressed with your cowtown picture the other day. All the pictures in your portfolio so far are from India, so I just assumed that is where you were from. It is nice to know you are so nearby.

Thank you Uri. Actually, I do have another view a little more to the left, but the light reflected too much off the leaf, so I didn't like it quite as much. I will post it here.

This reminded me of my daughter over 25 years ago who loved her red boots, just like these. You captured the joy of childhood well with this photo, even though you cannot see her face.

Thanks, Roger for commenting on some of my pictures. I live in Setagaya ku, between Sangenjaya and Gakugeidaigaku. That's not far from Jiyuugaoka. I enjoyed meeting George and Vivi in this picture.
The B&W picture you commented on is a picture of my daughter, Emi, and my one and only granddaughter, Frankie. They live near Yuutenji. It's a small world.
