About the Image(s)
This was taken with my first digital camera-Canon 10D about 18 years ago. I did most of the processing in Lightroom. Days have been either hectic or I haven't felt well. Sorry for the delay in posting.

Love the composition. Unfortunately, it is terribly out of focus. Hope you are feeling better now. Posted: 01/14/2025 01:29:37
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Mike about the image being quite a bit out of focus. Also, the top could be cropped down somewhat. Cute pose, though. Posted: 01/15/2025 23:25:52
Some of the advanced photographers feel that a poorly technical picture is better than no picture at all. Franklyn S Gould, FPSA use to say that a good picture was accepteble even if the technical aspect was poor. I love the framing on this. Cropping the top, a little brightening and sharpening the eyes only, should help this iomage a lot.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with his work, but then there are many prominent people in many professions that I've come across only recently. In my camera club I would get into many conversations/verbal altercations with folks who would claim that a particular image 'wasn't real' photography, especially those veterans of the film days before digital came along. I guess the old cliche about it being in the eye of the beholder fits here. There are many portraits taken in the early 1900s where the face was in perfect focus but by the plane of the ear, the back of the head was already blurring. Posted: 01/18/2025 16:41:33
This is a very sweet picture. It is representative of many of the photos I have taken in the past with point and shoot cameras. Would be fine as a 4x6 print. Posted: 01/19/2025 18:32:21
