Are you going to show us the result or it is not for this thread

I can authorize just this one exception if you want me to...

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you Alis for letting me post here the result of my sleep. Oh sorry, of my picture of 30 seconds exposure.
This was the only thing I could expect from you: permission to post a photo outside the context of this thread.

I was not going to post it because it is not suitable to me. I think it is not well done enough and I must do it again when I visit the house.
The painting is from 1918.

Then, I will be able to post a thread about the house. But let's now stay in this image I post.

It was shot with the 24-70 because I had not the 16-35 nearby. Next time I will. I have to remeber to take the CPF with me ...
Thank you Alis

My wife saw and said it was better vertical. It is in fact.

Excellent, Antonio! I think you did a superb job in processing it mainly by not doing too much to it

And I completely agree with your wife.

It is a shame though that the lens was not wide enough or you could not dig into the floor

[Antonio Correia]

... It is a shame ... you could not dig into the floor

Next time I will go to this place I hope to be able to shoot again from the ground - not from the chair - and with the 16-35.

trrriiimmm trrrrriiiimmm let me pass please...

Sharp and nice picture Alis.

Have you ever experimented/tried Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail or any of their products ?

from a recent engagement shoot.

I like this image and I cannot understand why (which is good). It is full of contradictions especially when it comes from an engagement shoot. I hope the crash is not symbolic of the couple's future relationship It is a very heavy and moody shot (probably why I like it) but the composition is a tad confusing on the eye. The tail plane resting on the gents head becomes a focal point and it would probably benefit from a looser composition.

On a lighter note, we, as photographers, really must try to influence our male subjects and ban the wearing of 'paternity shirts' on young male subjects. The whole purpose of the paternity cut is to hide ones paunch. Now this is unfortunately necessary in my case (having helped to bear 3 children...yes I too had a 29" waist before the rigors of childbirth) but on young males it just looks so wrong. We Brits have adopted it as a symbol of tribute to our 1980's darts players (a sort of national dress really) but your young men really mustn't

Reminds me of a thread on another forum where they had shots of togs doing what togs do - taking shots. Perhaps we should have one here? We could call it "Shooting the shooters"

I agree with Steve

I also like this image globally.

However, I would not ask the bride to lay her leg in that position, and him with the hand on her waist / back ...
This is connected to our culture. I don't know how you look at these postures in the US but here... people wouldn't like it. (I think) Here it would be too - I don't want to use the word vulgar, but I have to because I don't know any word under this level of classification. Can you understand what I am trying to say ?

But I do like the work you have done to the picture making it look very nice. I also like the shape of the large "dune" at the back.

Did they like the photo ? If they did, it's great and also a fantastic picture. It's what you need: satisfy your clients.

Thank you for posting

That is quite a title... Much more appropriated

They are interesting shots, because you tend to look at the tog and think... "Oh my God, do I look like him when I'm taking shots?"

... "Oh my God, do I look like him when I'm taking shots?"

I have never asked myself that question.
I just don't care how I look like when shooting

If I was suave and good-looking like you, I wouldn't worry either.

Don't make me blush Steve...

You know, I - generally, within reasonable limits - don't care much about what people say about me, what I dress, if I lay on the ground to shoot the ceiling, whatever.

Yours truly doing an impromptu spot of chimping after snapping a 15mb shot of a fascinating section of gravel pathway. You just have to do it, don't you?
