I really don't think the shutter speed was a problem here. The lack of a flash gave the nice bokeh background. If anything maybe giving it a little more DOF with f/2.8 or so would have been useful.

like the angled perspective!!! Great play on image and words .... neat rays cutting down over the words too. very nicely seen.

Rod nailed the brief. Cute and contextual.

Happy image

Is he the only one left how will talk to you now? Now you have your new K-1 buddy.. and are clearly spending too much time trying lenses...Great red BTW and I like the light from the computer in the background.

That's cool. You even scored a couple of sunbeams.

Love it
Bright, great colour, beaut. context. - fabulous family room shot.

Nice Bokeh, the light makes the image for me.

Yes, technically as a portrait this is probably better, and the pose is great, but I like the drama of the other one.

The colours and textures and the look here are all great. Not razor sharp I guess but a perfect portrait rendering for a hairy lady (or gentleman). Just love those dripping bokeh balls.
