Post your best current shots

Great shots Denise, they look wonderful!

I especially like the 2nd one.

On the 3rd shot, I would straighten out the water/horizon a little bit.

Thanks, Richard! It's too late to change anything now that they have been viewed by the b&g unless they request it or I let them know I'm going to change things after they have already viewed them. But yes, I guess my creativity was a little much and I shouldn't have tilted the photos. Sad thing is, I did it to a number of them! I should have left well enough alone! I wanted to post in a seperate thread for opinions before letting them view them, but that didn't seem right.

Luckily, her por-trait of Alma Gitanna here exemplifies other techniques for energizing your people pictures. Here are a few:

• Tilt the camera to throw the horizon line off-kilter. This can add a serendipitous kick."

I don't feel quite so retarded now but maybe I went a tad too far!
