Hello Kevin! an incredibly intriguing composition and image portrait Highly original in concept and compelling in it's subject art. Observational photography at it's best and presented powerfully. Well done!

Hi kevin
maybe an oldie but a definitely good one
I like the triple portrait of these smiling kids, one with a rather clear complexion and and the 2 others on each side, darker, affording a very good frame to the central character
Bravo
have a nice WE

A good portrait of the monitor Kevin but made all the interesting by the 2 faces in the shadows.
If you feel like a trip out of Sydney to the Southern Highlands (old towns, waterfalls, bush) whilst you're in town send me an email and I'll show you around.
cheers

Hi Kevin, exceptionally high quality portrait. The pair in the BG were inspired inclusions. Cheers, Steve

Hello Kevin,

An incredible portrait work with a masterful technique. I liked your choice of including the two models in the background sharply hence adding a great depth and interest to the shot. The lighting is amazing and yielded magical contrasts. A superb portrait in an extremely happy mood. I liked it so much. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice WE.
