Stunning shot Dave, perfectly in focus and sharp and an absolute stunner that stands out from the background. Big thumbs up from me. Welcome back

Thank you Heather, I do hope to get back there in the future.

Just taken now with the X100V, I love taking images of Susie so two of her. First is in Classic Neg and tweaked a bit and then a mono.

If you knew Susie ...

Two lovely portraits Dave.
No favourite.

Bebop · Feb 14, 2021

Like I knew Susie...

I agree two lovely shots. I think I prefer the colour, but both great.

Very busy next few days, so as I had the time now I thought I'd get my pair shot done and back up to date thank god. Also a very good film.

Bebop · Feb 14, 2021

Well done Dave for getting back up to date.

A nice pair of figureheads. I like the background and colours. Lighting looks a bit tricky with the reflective surfaces.

Thanks Bebop, if truth be known it was a quick rush job really as did not want to get behind. Plus next week I'm going to start using the Sony's again as I have to start to move on now.

Lets hope not

Boots · Feb 14, 2021

A very effective take on the theme

Allan.H · Feb 14, 2021

Nice set of figures Dave well done for getting back up to date

LC2 · Feb 14, 2021

Hi Dave,

Pair - Well, I wouldn't have got Nick Cage and John Travolta from that without your title

I agree it was a good film.
Oddly I initially thought it was a pair of boots somehow buried into the wood, then I looked properly

Snappers - Without the chance to get to jazz clubs, I guess this was always going to be your Suzie

I think I actually prefer the Colour version, as her red collar breaks up the image somewhat.

-Oy- · Feb 14, 2021

Nice pair of heads

Nostromo · Feb 14, 2021

Nice set up Dave, I like the shadow dof.

HelenC · Feb 15, 2021

Nice portrait of Susie.. good to see her again. I prefer the mono as I find the bright collar a bit distracting.
Pair. Great dof works well with the textured background.

Harlequin565 · Feb 15, 2021

Really good use of depth of field. Agree with Helen that the background is a good compliment.

Snappers Choice
You can never have enough dog pics, I'm going with the mono as my favourite

Pair
I was trying to visualise them closer together to see if the optical illusion vase would appear! Well handled lighting and background that works

FlyPhot · Feb 16, 2021

Good catch up image, fits the theme well and plenty of detail. Good job

NickD · Feb 16, 2021

Nice!

Is it just me?.... There's an optical illusion going on, which I think is due to the transition between the OOF foreground and the in focus area, that makes the heads look as if they are levitating.

vanishedbob · Feb 17, 2021

Bang on theme and very affective. Like it.

susiejb · Feb 17, 2021

Good to see you getting back into the challenge Dave ....super shot of your Susie, I really like the angle.
I like the busy textures with the statues, you’ve caught up so well done.

rpn · Feb 17, 2021

Great to see you back, Dave. Susie is such a cutie.

Pair; I've not seen the film but nice dof with both the foreground and background nicely oof.

Lovely catch up Dave. Sorry I’m a bit behind on commenting.
The horse pic is a lovely pic of a beautiful animal.
You can never take too many pictures of Susie and in this case l prefer the colour version.
l like the way you have the two heads facing each other and the low POV.
