fantastic shot,,,I love this, well done

I love the light angle, great shot

It’s a writer’s group meeting! Put down the camera Mark.

Heh – I multi-task, Bryan ;)
Besides, someone has to capture the moments :)

This is incredibly special; you’ve captured an almost spiritual light upon the book and hand that feels the words, while speaking them aloud for all to embrace. I am honoured to be a member of the writers group. During our times, there is a gifted fellowship enjoyed.

Beautiful work…

Love the composition and lighting here!!!!

Very poignant! Great capture, Mark! Glad to see you posting photos again!

wonderful shot.

Very nice shot, the warm tones, the dof, the everyday-ness of it – yet you’ve made it very special, indeed.

I am pleased you are a multi-tasker – this is rivetting – and the light is magic.

You’ve got a very fantastic eye Mark. Keep up the good work.

Great lighting and angle…

nice composition mate. I see what you mean about the light.

As I clicked on the thumbnail and before reading the description I thought this might have been taken in church such is the almost spiritual light you have captured here.

Then I saw the empty glass ;)

Ah….Mick – shall we mention who the model was?
And you remembered what I saw – makes me happy :)
Thanks, everyone above.

Great use of natural light Mark….nice one

Shot Mark…I really like how the writing looks to be a silver leaf upon parchment paper giving it an aristocratic feel to it.

Would not look out of place as a book cover with the heading ‘Points from the Pulpit’. (Well, maybe not with the straw in the glass!). Anyway, a thoughtful shot, with good lighting/depth of field selection.

Something I like about this shot which hasn’t been mentioned, is the tension of the liquid underneath the book. Mean anything to anyone?

interesting shot, like this one a lot!

thoughtful shot! well done

I noticed the empty glass and water on the wood….
the person was so occupied in the reading, following the words with one finger, to not miss even a comma.
I love, love this one. Intense emotion.

interesting capture

excellent DOF adds lots of punch to pull the eye into the subject. the light is fantastic. bravo.

Brilliant shot!

ahh bliss…i love it.

Fabulous composition and light

Great composition and light Mark

the lighting completely rules this shot, Mark! makes everything seem so intimate and warm :)

A.lovely controluce!!

Great shot Mark. I’d have thought it was from a church too. Must be a great writers group!

what can i say…..NICE SHOT

Very clever use of DOF and a great subject!
