Hey, we made front page news! And I am very glad, because your comments and observations on my photo were wonderful. I can't name what I do (and I am not sure if that is my job, really), but when other people do, it helps me hone my vision enormously.
That being said. Your Prince is, indeed a Prince. It does not surprise me that youu saw him and photographed him so beautifully (your tones are alwasy so wonderful) but what's astonishing to me is that you captured that very expression and conveyed it so well.
He does, indeed, look regal!

U turn!
I love it -- of course I love it!!
Love the background, all the little brothers and sisters watching the big acrobat show-off.
And then, after all thei, it's really beautiful, Pascal. I'm just tired and being silly

great combination -- of course I love the wall and shadows and leaves, and it's fun to think that THAT is where the light comes from !

Hooray  ))))
You don't know how happy this makes me to see!
I'll bet this will make a beautiful print -- the composition's so wonderful. That dappled light on the walkway, the ladder, the wonderful line of the hose. Well, I shouldn't forget to mention your handsome son, now, should I?
happy printing . . .

Again, your signature tones and composition. YOu are so skilled at capturing that perfect moment and framing it well.
This gentleman does, indeed, look grumpy. Very very grunpy.

Oh, another beauty --
I like this one as much as the other. I think you should flip one of them and make a diptych of Clara looking at Clara across all that blue.

You always capture her so beautifully -- and here, her skin tones and that blue -- it's like a song -- wonderful!

I'm so happy to see you here, David, because I love your work. This is an all0time favorite of mine. Fabulous tones, and some wonderful elements in the composition: diagonal arms on the right and verticals on the left -- all of it frames her beautifully. Nice capture!

Your love for it shows -- this is wonderful light, and you've managed to capture its delicacy and also its unexpected presence.
Nice triangulation of foreground machint, lamppost, man.
Curb and manhole cover aren't too shappy, either!
Good work, John, and always a pleasure to see life out of the wilds

Happy is right!
I love this whole sequence, Lowell, but my favorite has to be the last one, with the big thing on the wall echoing his smile

THANK YOU PETER!!!
I appreciate this so much -- especially right now when I am feeling like I cannot make anything quite right. You cheer me enormously.
Now, for the picture: it's beautiful -- lovely textures and a simple composition that could tell many many stories . Lovely . . .

I like this too -- for the same reasons John gives, plus I like the part the trees play in the drama as well. Great eye here -- not at all unusual for you

It's good to see you, john, and to know that you've been stretching your eye a bit. There's a head-on quality to this -- shooting straight into the sun and straight into the crowd, which seems a bit different. I like it -- I always like how you see the world.
Yes, it's a different year, isn't it? Funny how the world is so different and all the same at the same time.

Hah! I love this!!!
I can't imagine how you got it. It's like taking pictures of my bassets with a little bunny
I genuinely like the very contrasty feel here -- if everything were even, and in a "normal" tonal range, I don't think the dogs would really stand out as they do.
Great!!!

another beauty --
I always love looking at your work and commenting, Tom -- I can't offer much but praise, but the way you see the world and juxtapose images really inspires me. Stretches my eye -- which is a good thing for any photographer
