It has been a long time science I have posted anything. I quit work late last year and have never been busier, I had a shoulder reconstruction, then restarted the restoration of our old Queenslander, went on cruise with the wife in February, shot a wedding in March, continued with the house and we are going on a 72 day trip to Canada and some of the US at the end of the week. I have also been doing a bit of motorcycle rider training to keep a few dollars coming in and sold a few photos to people who have been doing the courses.

In between this activity we have been to Sydney a couple of times to visit family, I took these shots of the wife's nephew last month, he is wearing number 9.

Waiting for a run.


After the game.

I prefer the second photo here. Now, my advice is to make it square leaving the left eye of your subject bang in the middle of the two thirds. Then you can even convert it to B&W and it will work beautifully. I believe a square format either colour or B&W will improve this portrait.

I like the technical quality of the second shot. Just beautiful.

Very nice indeed.

I agree on #2 but I am amused by #1 where #9 appears to have only one leg

Thanks for the comments guys. I have now done a square crop B&w of number 2 but cannot upload as telstra has disconneted my internet for the last 30 hours to do maintainence. Not happy as I have work to get done and download gst stuff before I go away on Sunday. Did not pay much attention to the one leg in the first shot until it was pointed out.
Thanks again.

Internet came back up this afternoon after being out for about 60 hours, just in time to do some last minute business stuff before holidays.

Anyway here is the b&w version for Zafra, not cropped exactly as suggested but close.

I prefer this version to the one above because I found the colours were taking away interest from
the subject. With the B&W you just can't help but looking at the boy's eyes and his expression.
Well done!

love the mono, dont like the crop
