About	Believe it or not, this was actually a candid shot in my office at work. I had my 580EX flash on, and our office walls are made out of white, eraseable whiteboard (for notes, calculations, lists, whatever). Further, they're 8-sided walls. Well, that large white surface also makes a perfect bounce source for my flash. I quickly squatted down to their level, and asked them to hug each other. I only took two photos; the first one I had forgotten to turn on my flash (DOH!) and then...this one. Some distracting junk in the background was darkened down, but not completely blackened, and I cropped it and added a very slight diffused glow to emphasize their angelic faces. Hope you like it!

Excellent results, Paul. Looks like a studio set-up. The diffuse glow adds to the professional feel.

So VERY cute (I should have had a couple daughters)....A really good capture (especially since this is the only one). The bottom one has a perfect expression - a total doll. Good work !!! (if you sell it to the boss, get top dollar or no sale - don't back down, he'll love you for it..... I smell a promotion....lol)

LOL!
While that's flattering, I think I still have a lot to learn about photography, Luke. I still know how much I *DONT* know.

Luke Luther {K:14693} 7/2/2006

excellent then Paul for a candid...maybe you are reaching the zone...that place where the camera and the photographer are one brain/eye/lens.

Marianne Archer {K:926} 7/2/2006

simply stunning...the modelling on this image is perfect!

Thank you, Gerhard.
The funny back-story here:
Every other Friday is our company payday. We end the day with department reports, and with some food.

Well, many months ago my boss said he'd have his head shaved if we managed to break a significant sales record, and June was that month! These are his daughters, who came dressed for the 'special' occasion. I'll be posting a humorous photo from that event soon.

Regards,
Paul

Ah, thank you for that tip, Mohammad!
I had noticed after posting that my background was whiter than the Usefilm page, but decided to leave it alone for now. I now have a matching value for next time. Thanks for your kind words.

In such an excellent subject, the heart of each spectator rises. My most sincere congratulation.7 Pts. Sincerely Gerhard

Mohammad Porooshani {K:20765} 7/2/2006

Nice work Paul,
the softness of the shot absolutely fits the category, in addition to my love to all children, they look so lovely here,
dear Paul, you may want to use color #f1f1f1 as background color for your images to look floating in Usefilm, instead of white,
Very well done to you,
My bests,
Mohammad

Rachel Leah {K:26110} 7/2/2006

I love this, it is such an adorable combines portrait! I'm sure they will love this one forever! The softness in lighting and coloring is beautiful and promotes this innocent mood very well! I love this, they are adorable little cuties, and you captured this very well! Nice work :)
