TNB--that's just gorgeous!

Visual Reality--adorable! It really captures the emotion.

Thanks. There weren't too many around when I took that photo. By the way, it wasn't a staged photo. I simply took the photo at an after hour's party hosted by Thunder Power (battery company) during a two-day fun fly. Two flood lights were on the floor and I used an SB800 on camera. Krause was flying the heli.

Thanks. You should have also seen the emotion after I captured that photo by the owner of Thunder Power. Everyone else just thought I was nuts. I still hear about it at some of the conventions.

My first experiment with people. What do you think?

I like the first one.

If you could shoot at f/4 you could get a bit more background blur. That and a little flash would fill in those shadows but overall it looks "natural".

I agree but I also find the fountain a little distracting.
I suspect that the young lady would have rather not been in competition with a concrete seal.

I think the second photo is a neat idea but would have worked better with more of the subjects face visible.

TNB, Very nice! You have me kicking myself for not using the fisheye when I was down there. That's a real fun lens.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your shots.

Here's another of a sand "waterfall" in the canyon.
