Thomas,

Excepitonal images. Lovely young lady too.

Excellent B&W treatment and great photo (you need to thank her for that)

But there is something really riviting about the OOF areas beyond your beautiful lady. Too me, they make for a very compelling image... even though there can be a visual struggle for a center of interest.

Wonderful!

Stephen

There is nothing like love. And the pictures are also ok Thomas! She has a special look. All pictures of here you have showed here give me an impression that your girl is a pretty cool person. I hope I don't express myself in a clumsy way.

regards,

Thank you Stephen.
I know... she is the one making my portraits of her looking good, not the other way around

I know the OOF areas are not perfect and these are nothing but quick snaps during a short hike...

Well not clumsy, I am pretty sure I get your point...

She has a very special look indeed, I am not entirely sure I know what you mean by cool though... you are right she might look cool, but there is a little more to it, I just think it is the moments I like to capture.


Is it the same cool look in these two examples?

I mean cool as in relaxed. She seem to have a great deal of patience or indulgence of you taking her picture, at the same time as the pictures speaks of a person with a great deal of integrity. Holy, I sound like a shrink trying to see too many things in nothing by somebodies pictures but that is what they convey.

regards,

She has that special quality in her aura - a bit of care-free attitude and a sense of authority.

Really nice shots
