Hello,

I understand that some kinds of subjects may disturb some of you. But my goodness, why these girls are not completely naked? Perhaps, they are males and all my sexual fantasies would collapse...

These aren't great photos, but I thought I would share them anyway.

Unfortunately, the longest lens I had handy was the DFA 100 macro which is definitely not a "bear catching" lens, but I made do with it. My wife had the DFA 70-200 in a bag somewhere for an upcoming wedding, but if they come back I'll try to use that (I'd rather they didn't come back -- my garden is pretty happy without bears in it).

Cub.

Once again, I apologize for the quality of the photos, but they are what they are.

Nothing to apologise for, great captures. 100mm ? you could have got a bit closer though as you shooed them away :-)

Please don't. Most of your pictures are stunning, none made me wince, nor did I find any of them to be sleazy!

I'm totally jealous!! But on the other end I would have been so upset not to have my best lens for the occasion

Best I can find in my backyard is my neighbours' cats. Maybe a fox, in the middle of the night...

No, no no! NONE of your images that I've seen have been "sleazy." I was making a general observation that very subtle changes in a model's pose can make a big difference in what the picture communicates - the difference between: here is a beautiful young woman VERSUS come let's have a romp right now. Do you remember that once I PM'd about a pose that was a bit too - how should I put it? - confrontational, or aggressive, or in-your-face, or "are you man enough" - hard to put into words. I did not find that one pleasing, it made me wince. As you replied, the pose was the model's choice, not yours. The vast majority of your images are tasteful celebrations of female beauty, a pleasure to see.

OED definition of sleazy:

(of a person or situation) sordid, corrupt, or immoral

This most certainly does not apply to any pictures here.

OK, curious for an opinion here. There may be other technical merits to each photo, but strictly composition and overall appeal wise, do you prefer photo 1, with a little closer straight on angle of the single bloom, or the 2nd photo, that includes a partial background bloom in the bokeh??? I know which I like better, but am curious what others think. Thanks in advance.

As a side note, it has been WET and dismal most weekends when I can get out and shoot lately. Weather seals and decent high iso performance have been a real help to keep me from throwing in the towel and just staying home.

I would say I prefer the close up shot (top picture) just in terms of composition.
I really like the colors of both though.

Terrific photos posted by all.
LeRolls, in my opinion all your photos are top notch pro presentations. Some models & settings I prefer over others but certainly a pleasure to view. Please consider what the one poster stated: satisfy the many; and I am one of those.
Best Regards, Bob
