Challenge 22: "Portraiture"- (D)SLRs only - In Judging Phase

[Dr. Harout]

I think I know why Yildiz picked this challenge (one of the reasons). So thanks

So here's my contribution (posted wrongly in another challenge)

A700 + SAL50M28 1/10s, f/6.3 handheld, indoor light

I don't often comment on the pictures submitted because there are so many over all the threads; but I think this is a superb effort, wonderfully crisp but countered by the expressive soft eyes of the subject. I imagine he attracts quite a lot of attention from the female species.

Thanks, and yes he does.

This is Nicholas and Nina, a friend's kids.

I thought this picture was quite an accomplishment since this is Nicholas's normal speed.

I think I know that chair.

Here's another portrait. An old lady at my neighborhood.

Nice one Dr. Harout,

She must be nice having around ... and I like how the light through a tree (maybe) is scattered about.

Absolutely right. She always sits outside under a mulberry tree. She gathers the mulberries and distills vodka out of it, and of course she drinks regularly. You should see her chopping wood
Oh, and she's 87.

That's admirable! Her determination reminds me of my late grandmother...

Great portrait, Bruce. I like it very much.

[BruceKingston]

Thanks Dr Harout, here is another from the same country that I'm guessing represents the lifestyle most of us would like to have!

This one was snapped by my wife of our littlest one wanting to be picked up.

This one is a shot of Daddy's little helper raking the leaves. She only does it to get a big pile to jump into!

Bruce;

Nice captures! Also the ones in your blog are very interesting and full of 'real' life moments...


Dusty;

Always a loyal fan of your little daughters' 'armed' forces and beauty! Lilly is going to be a strong girl that you won't be able to keep at arm's length someday...

And who might that angel be in the second photo, with her hair scooped by the wind!? We missed her lovely face in the forum...

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Yildiz, that was Emma. Here's a shot of Emma, Elizabeth and Samantha (front to back) showing off their creation.

Adorable! And deserving of a huge hug all the way from this part of the Earth...

You are blessed. Truely so. Each one is exceptionally beautiful and sweet and have enchanting smiles.

Thank you for this shot.
