Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. In this shoot, the parents....especially the Mom, had lots of fun ideas. As for me, I was willing to try different poses, and ideas too. It all gives itself to a great learning experience.

After I was done the whole photo shoot, I made them a music slide show. I must say that poses like the one of the father holding the baby over his head, had a fantastic emotional effect when put to music. Poses like that on its own do seem unsettled.....what is the message or story of the photo?

I did have a favorite when I was done. This one picture, has become part of my portfolio, for whatever reason, whenever I see it.... I chuckle!

What a fantastic eye you have for composure.

This is a wonderful set of scenic photography

Welcome to the forum...enjoy!

Thank You Judge.
I am very new at portrait...at lest this kind in a studio type setting. I have a passion for photographing children and with six grandchildren they are teaching me so many new things.

I agree that it had the strength factor, but it was the masculine energy of wanting to look strong that stuck me. I was not posing this child as such...but he was boasting how powerful and mighty and manly he was...so I asked him to show me, making grunting noises and big poses...I started shooting, this one was his favorite. I saw the masculine energy first even though the pose was a muscle bound strength.

Special congrats to Glyn...he is something else....his work is awesome, LOVED this photo!!! Also was honoured to share my placement with Aliengrove...that was such a cool photo.

Many thanks to our Judge. I enjoyed reading each and every comment made.

Congrat to Rob...that, simply put, was a cool shot

I worked real hard during my photo shoot to get that light from the lighthouse to shine in my photo. In some of the shoots it was a streak of light and in others it was not there at all. Great pratice at taking a photo of a rotating light!

It was amazing to see all the colours in that sky.

amoringello...I asked John about that not too long ago...and you cannot re enter in the weekly comp!

I think one of the problems with this topic is that it would have been better if it was next week....after all the Halloweeners came and went.
I created my own little fellow....It was a stuffed snowman doll, and I put a pumkin over his head! Poor snowman!!!!
