Wow. Awesome shot Gill, how did you light this?

thanks Fin.  It was just the window - i burnt (is that the right term - made darker ?) out some of the detail in the background but that's all.

I dont usually comment on portraits as I am no expert but this caught my eye, a beautiful capture - one to treasure - 5* from me

What a great shot, again you have done really well with the lighting and it works well.

Gill, this is top drawer.  The lighting is so good it's almost a line drawing.
Cheers
Paul

thank you all - i think i must just be very lucky with where the window is !!!

What can I say that hasn't already been said....?

Gorgeous lighting on this one! It's funny, but i'm not i lover typical childrens portraits displayed around the home, unless totally unaware they're being photographed. This in my opinion is much more tasteul. Like it a lot!

thank you for your comments - i have really enjoyed visiting your galleries too.

Beautiful study of the profile and light. Well done

Another fantastic portrait Gill!  Perfect lighting and post production.  5*
