Sadness

Many thanks Jerame, praise coming from your expert eye, pleases me very much

Hi Ursula, thanks for for kind comment. Truthfully, the sadness was more to do with me pestering her so I could take the photo, but the resulting emotion has worked well for the portrait, I think :)

Hi Nicollette, I’m so pleased you like this reworked, tightly cropped, high-key version. Kinda makes the original look a bit flat. Thanks so much for you input, always appreciated :)

Hi Jesika, thank you, I appreciate your kind words

Cheers Mark, glad you like it. Thought I’d try a tightly cropped high key version.

Hello Soos, thanks for taking a look, good to hear from you. Glad you like the treatment, I would agree, the high-key does make it more striking.

I thought you guys might spot that I reworked a previous image. Did it cropped and high key for a comp, but actually prefer this version now. Many thanks my friend for your kind comments, much appreciated, as always.

Thanks Karri, really pleased you approve, much appreciated, and thanks for the chat earlier

Hey Shell, Wow, what a lovely review, you are way too kind to me.
I am flattered, but it is your work that has inspired me no end, particularly with high key portraiture (your speciality).
Yes, I must do some more serious new work soon. Really appreciate your support, thanks Shelly :)

Hi Tara, thank you so much for your kind comment, much appreciated

Many thanks, much appreciated

Hi Steve, thanks for such a complimentary review, many thanks, greatly appreciated

Hi Wendi, so pleased to hear your thoughts on this portrait of Natalie, my daughter. Re-processed this version for the high effect.
Must try and do a proper shoot with her some time. Thanks my friend :)

Hi there, good to see you here looking at my work. Really pleased you like this one, many thanks

Hey, did I miss this comment somehow? sorry about my late reply :)

Ah, damn good to hear that :) This is my daughter Natalie, taken last year, when she was 18, just turned 18 now. Was taken on the spur of the moment, and she didn’t want to oblige, hence the “hurry up Dad” look. Thanks for your damn nice comment, I think?

Hello Ingz, so lovely to find you here looking at my work :) I have looked at your gallery and am really impressed, excellent work, my friend :)
Yhis is my daughter, Natalie, taken when she was 18, and not in the mood for having her pic taken, hence the look :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment, really appreciate it :)

Hi Toby, many thanks for taking a look here and your kind comment. Had a look at your work too and am very impressed, good to see you’re into spiders too and have entered some in our Arachnids group.
