But you said I should stick to shooting weeds Brian!What a stunner, Chris. The picture I mean. (Although she's not bad, too.) This kind of quality image inspires me to want to be a photographer when I grow up.

Thanks Rob - the only Latin I remember is "Caecilius est in horto" which doesn't really help in day to day communicationsBrave shooting into the sun like that, but it works beautifully, Chris. Amazing eyes in the second. BTW, the Latin name is Verdus Stuffus.
Thanks Davie - client is agreeing with you so far, so all goodExcellent stuff, despite the obvious beauty of both the lady and landscape I'm still drawn toward the jewellery
Thanks Glenn - I feel the same about her eyes - I mentioned that to her as we shot - they are going to get a her a lot of workYa done good Chris. For me...it's her eyes that draw me in. They are stunning and you caught them just right.
Thanks PeteLovely stuff Chris and the filmic looks works very well, as does the product placement. And there's definitely some Homo sapiens in there.![]()
Thanks Ivar - her eyes are just magneticMolto Bene goes for all my latin knowledge in this case and very good they both are. Somehow I rate the latter one a little higher than the first. She's got gorgious eyes of blue.
Thanks Peter - the 35mm is indeed a world class optic - 100 year old design (optically) but I guess once you have it right, why change it!As previously stated, that jewellery she's adorning is beautiful.
Drawn to her eyes, they're so amazing! That XF 35mm is a killer lens, oozes so much quality.
Thanks AldousLovely shot Chris
Thanks PaulI think you have got the balance perfect on these. There's just enough of a focus on the jewelry without it being too dominating.
