Daydreamer

The DOF is amazing Paul! xoxox Get your girl a REAL dog! xoxox

oh get her a real one,
I can’t take that forlorn look….....sigh

Doesn’t she do that look well :)

‘Wurston’s in a crate somewhere on the high seas as we speak. He should be with you in about three months. Good luck

YES

this works/great poses/want to see more/love the atmosphere you have created here.

BRILLIANT

and the model MUST be so so pleased with the result

Just gorgeous – so wistful emotive and elegant.

I LOVE this to bits and pieces!

Loving the light and focus on Siena

you might think about a swing set as well….. lots of room in that yard…... great work paul.. the small difference in the size of the side fence threw me at first..couldn’t figure out the change as the shadows seemed so exact….... sienna’s a charmer….........b

fantastic shots Paul….and really you should get her a real dog!!

lovely!

love the story these two simple images tell, well done

i love this, Paul :)
like stepping back in time . . .
soft emotion
you embrace enchantment with everything you create and capture

Fantastic emotional, storytelling images with great ‘dreamy’ lighting, lots of space( with certain boundaries) to wander, ponder and think of what might be!!! BTW, Paul you really should get her a real dog, preferably small, as they are a wonderful companion and refuge, when needed !!!

pets are good for your health ;-). THis takes me back to my own childhood of wandering in my own world lol

I like this image. The emptiness of the terrain is seemingly equal to the pool sized desire for a real living pet. As always your beautiful colours. Hugs K

very beautiful Paul, great colour palette and tone!

I’ve already decided I might try steering my boy in the reptile direction (less yard space, maintenance, training, walking and vet bills) LOL

This is an adorable pairing she is a very gorgeous little girl!
I have one that gets in her own world often – a sign of high intelligence that apparently!
and yes get her a dog! I went my whole childhood only wanting a puppy for Christmas & only getting Barbie Dolls (I have issues with that blond plastic thing!) I finally got one (when I was 35!)
a dog can be a great companion or a massive hindrance if you get the wrong one – make sure the dog comes to you – without calling, the one that does that is the dog for you.
But a Collingwood warehouse would indeed make it a bit hard to have a good dog (Say a Kelpie) without many hours spent having fun walking the streets or up a park or down the beach or out bush, fetching balls catching frizbees …..
and to think I have 6 adorable ones you could have your pick of – an absolute darling black girl or three chocolate and caramel ones or a grey one with blue eyes or my fave the gorgeous grey tri-colour Queenie …. no I might keep her lol They’re 4weeks old now so they’ll be ready for new homes after cup weekend I’ll try to get a few shots up But this is dad

If it’s any consolation I reckon my whole property would fit inside a Collingwood warehouse! Chookas! ♥

hmm, a fake puppy …........cumon P….!!............get her the real thing man!!! lolol. Love it Paul …...... so cool.

GREAT!

time for a real one Paul… look at all the space to play… and you need to do this while she has time to play …

– and once again.. the master of the reduced pallette and subtle lighting

Very Very clever. This is so fantastic and moody of course love the processing as always. It is a power image that can tell a story all by itself with no words.

Very, very nice. She seems to be outside the background, the effect is amazing. The light perfect. Another masterpiece Paul.

Quite eloquent.

Beautiful daydreamer she is Paul ! I remember when I was little I wanted a dog too and they gave me a cuddly one like this, I cried and said I wanted one with real eyes… You should give her a real one some day when she’s a bit older and can take care of it herself… x anna

Nice work.

great treatment as usual….difficult thing to get across the wonder and innocence of childhood but you’ve managed to convey something of that wonderfully well..like it

Lovely work Paul. The light works a treat – throwing the background into semi-shadow and leaving Sienna in the light without losing any detail is brilliant. It is beautifully poignant. I have a loveable Highland Terrier X – they make loyal playful pets and are perfect around children. He has never chewed up anything either, which is a big +.

the neutral colours through this are lovely

So beautiful, timeless & almost wistful… what an elusive view you have captured Paul! & the light is amazing. Siena is beyond sweet here and a new toy stuffed dog can be so special to a girl :) I feel so fortunate to have been able to meet your lovely daughter when you were in the States earlier this year, and it’s wonderful to see her again. I’m sure you’ve put a big smile on her face to see this!!

such sensitive work Paul,
so evoking empathetic response from the little animal -loving girl in me ….who is not at all surprised to have wound up all these years later with a sooky great Dane!!

fantastic,

Ain’t childhood grand? To be able to be in your own world and have not a care in the world. Wonderful diptych, Paul. She is a treasure. Cheers Elana.

Who wouldn’t? Cheers Elana

Magnificent…. there’s that trademark luminescence….. absolutely beautiful!

Love the two dimensions here…..you can almost read her thoughts, I have her faux pup in real life ….click me

Pleasure !

Gee Siena is growing fast. Poor girl has to have a toy instead of a real one. You meanie lol.
Every girl needs a best friend Paul, and I ‘ll keep begging for her as you know I will lol.
Anyway gorgeous captures. But a real puppy would look so much better (hehe!!)
xx

a slightly Dickensian workhouse look, daydream, quiet contemplation….. works on so many levels!! you could however buy her a real puppy, the RSPCA has several to choose from, oh and some toys for them both to play with!

Adorable Paul…get her a dog or else before you know it she’ll be asking for a horse;)

Gorgeous and almost like a couple of movie stills….....
Just imagine how magical the day will be when she finally has her own puppy, make sure you have the camera ready (as if you wouldn’t) cause those shots will be even more priceless than these ones!
Beautiful takes of your princess Siena :)

seems so beautiful & simple. fantastic!

Lovely! What a beautiful little lady! You captured the beauty of childhood and daydreaming. So important—it’s a shame some adults forget how to do it!

precious
;-) xox

You are such an inspiration to me. whatever the subject matter, you always manage to instil emotion in what you are doing, which is how I like it. I love seeing kids off in their dreamworld; it reminds me they are their own wee person with a world of possibility in any direction.

Fantastic shots!

God she’s so gorgeous!!!

Fabulous and intense capture! Strong but also with a bit of sadness. Love it!

so lovely…..I think she is giving you the little puppy eyes look….maybe that one day will come a bit sooner than you thought xxx

love this. has such an old-world feel to it. can’t quite put my finger on it. wonderful almost-polaroidish colour tones. great processing :)

hey, no reason to complain about the Daylesford light if this is what it can do for you! ;)
