great light Todd.

For some reason this really appeals to me. I like the sense of anticipation it invokes...all set up and ready to go...

Maybe a little more DOF could help to bring more of the flower in focus but then you were going to lose this beautiful rendered background that looks like painting. Love it!

Very good use of the natural light....love it

Very. very nice Todd. Wonderful lighting and with that beam catching the red pieces (as well as your daughter), I reckon you made the right call choosing this colour version. Tops.

Love love love this. Natural light is the best!

Great light, and lovely portrait, but my eyes are drawn to the fun drum-set/chair bokeh. The M and A series fast fifties really do render differently from the earlier Takumars and later FA.

i like the light reflection on the faces here. it's what caught my attention to zoom in. you can almost here the conversation too. ah, the life we live these days...

so dark on that couch! ah, but when I scroll down I see what you're trying to say. i like the afternoon sun and shadows and how the edges of the pieces are picked up in the light. the container also adds to that sense of being left behind.

lovely light here. i like the bokeh too
