Spectacular. Creamy, smooth sharp just beautiful. The look on her face is just right for such a portrait.

Great capture and B&W conversion. Not to mention, this is really sharp!

Nice. I like the lighting goes well with his expression. Slightly dark and mysterious.

Thank you for your comment about Ruth Bernhard. I wonder if maybe she copied me! This photo was shot and published in Camera 35 in 1964. I had no lighting equipment so I improvised to get the softness I wanted, the light source, my TV set, B/W of course. The lighting was so soft I had a hard time focusing the RF on the M3, but I got what I wanted. Thanks again, only kidding about Ruth.

Superb! Love the composition, lighting, vignetting . It's exactly what I like to see.

That classic look. Great portrait.

stimply

great composition. reminds me of a ruth bernhard nude.

10-19-10

very good composition.

10-19-10

Thank you! This was my first attempt at shooting a nude, not so easy to get alluring but not crude.

10-19-10

Thank you!

10-19-10

Beautiful. I love the serene look of this. P.S Don't forget you can edit EXIF :)

Hi Doug, Thanks for looking; you're right it's an auto body shop. Great for textures and colors. Dave

Interesting subtle color, and painted vs metal surfaces. I've been doing a theme like this for a while too, as the discard bin behind the auto body shop is on a common walking route. Have fun! :)

Agree with JT...Awesome!

10-18-10

Much Appreciated!

Thank You!

Excellent capture!

10-18-10

Very good atmosphere. Some mystery in this picture that I like.

Thank you for your comment. It was made on Charles' Bridge in Praha.

I think these are restaurants. The building is in Kyoto. Thanks for the comments.

10-17-10

Thanks... Yes, it's coming; I had the snowblower out for a test run today. There's vehicle traffic and foot traffic all around that parked car, but it hasn't moved... :)

10-17-10

Thanks! I had to lighten the lower half for more detail and color.

10-17-10

Nice warm looking colors to the sky here. Well done.

10-17-10

Great shot here. Reminds me I have a long 6 months of winter ahead of me.

10-17-10

Thank you, Kyoto is a wonderful place. I just purchased my M9 prior to visiting here :)

10-17-10

haha yes its a classic for sure :)

10-17-10

Way cool. :) What is the building? Everyone seems to be sitting down.

10-17-10

I like this, and I'm struggling to say why... It's the pictures within the picture that make up the whole... with people doing similar things separately.

10-17-10

I like the sky... A good "day's end" photo over the ponds and the sea.

10-17-10

A nice Brew Fest atmosphere here, good one!

10-17-10

This is beautiful. Wonderful lighting and mood. I know they are just veggies but it has a nice feel to it :) You should post these on [url]http://www.leicaImages.com

10-17-10

Superb! Classic leica shot. You could not ask for better lighting!

10-16-10

Yes. Very nice portrait. Very sharp too.

10-16-10

Beautiful portrait, nice B&W conversion.

Thank you for your kind comment - it was mostly the lens with a little pp in CS5

I'm very happy with this lens. I was a little worried about talk of softness at wide apertures. It may not be as crisp, but it's still very nice. And great for portraits. I've gone through a lot of telephotos. But this one is my keeper.

Now there's a working bike, worthy of respect for durability...
