Great portrait. I'm not shure of croped legs but photo is good, colors - great!

@misu
the legs are beyond the frame :-))

@Eric
a proud portrait. congrats to the feature.

Thanks for the tip Vernon, I primarily use mac these days put I'll put it on my old windows box and take a look, looks very interesting.

Well done. Great details and colors! The best HDR I ever seen. +fav

Very inviting!

That is really a fantastic shot.

Thanks folks!

Truly foundeful photo. I like it very much. On sky i sea some white lines... what is it?

@Mikhail
light trails from aeroplanes :)

Look at you go Vernon.....

I'm such a sucker for night work. Nice one Vernon!

great one vernon.

what's the exif on this? also, what lens did you use?

the dof seems staggering, though maybe it's not really all that deep. straight out of camera? or is it two images overlaid?

yes george, all from the cam.
here's a screenshot from the raw file (includes the exif as well)
lens is a tamron 17-50/2.8

@all
thanks for your feedback.

Congrats v.t.! I really like the strange panorama effect in the handle. Superb, as usual. ;O)

Exquisite work!

Cheers,
Jon

An amazing shot. Just great. Congrats.

hey misu,

thanks for stopping by :) the end of the hand should be dark because she is "touching the shadow" :-)

cheers

Yes, I understand the idea ;) But on my monitor I not see the hand, it is too dark... but may be it is only on my monitor ;)

guess your monitor is too dark. :)

Very cool shot!
I like the dark feeling that it conveys!

Hey Vernon, nice to see you here as well. I love this shot, well done buddy.

congrats.
well deserved!

waaah! thanks you :))

Brilliant exposure

oh

a semi-naked... tztztz :-)))

o_O
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Great photo!

A water droplet? Something else? ;)

Brandon, this is a lamp on the ceiling :)

@Martine
taken early today at zürich airport :)

@Beamer
thanks :)

Hey, Vernon, have you ever, or would you be willing to do a tutorial on this color treatment? I see you use it a lot and have always been curious how you get it so nice.

@Beamer
this kind of toning takes some time (0,5-2 hrs) and depends of the "content".
this shot has a triple toning in split-mode,
mostly done by using 3 tone layers for each shade of grey available in the shot.
so if you have 15 grey values, you have 45 layers just for toning. the adjustment takes the longest time.

:-)

I knew it wasn't something with 1 button...

such a dynamic shot
congrat one more time

ha ha. I clicked on the thumbnail and kept waiting for the page to come in focus.
Life is great.

hehe, so the trick worked...
cheers Ana :-))

Thank you very much for looking and for your comment, Tracy. :)

good!

sometimes, for such shots, it would be cool to tall like a cyclop :-)))

aargh...

to be tall like a cyclop...

sorry :)

lol
Thank you very much for your input, Vernon, I agree with your point. Unfortunately I feel much closer to Bilbo the hobbit than to a cyclop :))

Apart from the repetition and the asymmetric compo, I so much like your b&w post-processing, MMeye !!!!! Very well done.
