Just stumbled across your gallery, what a great selection of portrait shots, this one is really good.

I am honoured that someone as talented as you has given me some positive feedback. Your country landscapes are awesome!

Your high key portraiture is superb....keep posting these lovely images! Regards,

Tks Lee, i agree, these are my nieces and my sister.  The girl in front is a right character - could eat her up.  Tks for the visit.  Cheers Jo

Some excellent portraits in your gallery Jo.............this one is my favourite. Very natural, superb composition and effection b+w conversion...........well done. Wayne

Sorry, I meant 'effective' but it also shows affection.

Thanks Wayne, I appreciate your comments and visits.  I must admit this is also one of my favourites, maybe cos they are my nieces.  Cheers Jo

Jo, love your portraits in the gallery, very un-conventional. This one's my favourite, so much energy and life.
Well done

Thank you Stu

Its these shots that make photography so worthwhile Jo, lovely mono this.....Bev.

Thank you Bev - the family at least appreciate my photography - when i snap pics like this of them!!!

Great work; it's just like a Venture shot.

Thank you, what is a venture shot??

Just seen this one Jo - how could i have missed it !?!??! - we often overlook such hidden gems - wonderful image - and works so well in the "high key" mode you have employed here - cheers Gil.

Thank you Gil, but it is quite understandable how we can overlook the gems in the gallery - time is of an essence - it is not always possible to trawl through everyone' s gallery - sometimes it is hard just getting thru the newly posted pics. But i am honoured that you consider this a gem!  Cheers

Venture Jo is a studio that is big in the uk and do high key portraits and charge the earth for them too, but are still very popular. Might be something you could look into doing over with you. I love this  one it just show's the love and affection between each other something that you don't see that often. Another job well done.

Thank you Angela.  I have heard of Venture and there is something similar here, but it is a franchise and they are famous for the high-key kind of portraiture which i like but i like all forms and i think the franchise would hold your creative juices in check. But thanks for the idea - cheers!

gorgeous again and you've captured a moment of fun & tenderness perfectly ! brilliant ! Hope your sister has a poster size version of this !

Thanks Gill and yes my sister did enlarge this.  She has asked me once again to take a family portrait but this time her husband wants to be included - so i had better start thinking out of the box!
