(...) These are in Nepal.

Ah, Nepal, now I get it. At first I thought about Ganges just like Vivek suggested.
But when I looked at the faces some of the attendants just didn't seem to be from India.
I didn't even consider Nepal as I thought the nepalese people were mainly buddhists. Totally wrong here.
Now I found that the majority of the nepalese are actually hindus, according to a couple of websites.
Oh well, seems like it's just my ignorance that strikes again :rolleyes: Conclusion: I need to travel a lot more :) Thanks rayyan.

I am from India and I never could figure out who is from India or Africa or China or Afghanistan or Iran (Freddie Mercury of Queen, is an example) by looking at the faces . Such is the diversity there.:eek:

Also, there are very few differences between the Tibetan Buddhists and the Hindus (religion wise).

Yes, Nepal used to be the only Hindu kingdom until recently. India is secular from inception according to the constitution.

Rayyan, Nice work. Keep them coming. :)

What an ingenious yet delightful way to avoid the proverbial "ban for brickwall test" by adding a skintones assessment. ;) :D

Joke aside, super nice model, composition, DOF and lighting (natural light?).
A real great portrait, Lloyd. :thumbs:

LOL. I wish I'd thought of that brick wall thing!

Natural light, with an SB-900 providing fill at -1.7 EV, hence the tiny catchlight in the eyes.

Undoubtedly a splendid day in Boston, at least photography wise.
All worth a quote and comment...i'll stick to my own three favorites above: the first for the genuine smile, and emanating light... the second for the analog quality and lifelike, slightly blurred impression. The last for the instant street classics feel, the theme & characters, and the perfect BW conversion, accordingly (would love to see the original color with as little PP as possible, btw).

Composition, light and moment are all powerful.

Great job again, Steve.

Here's a spring illustration.

Sounds like a colorful, exotic version of spring.
Nice catch :)

Rayyan, the whole series of shots are mind-blowing. On different levels, it makes us all not only peep into another dimension, but ponder on them.
This would deserve serious publishing in a magazine. Really.

Matt, in my book this beaver is one of your best.
PP is simply perfectly adequate.

Jorgen, the motor shots are action packed and quite impressive.

Yet for some reason the Stripes one above really stands out for me. Well maybe the reason is that it's consistent with your masterful street shots style... love it anyway.

Was under the impression of just one fill light indeed, but instead of analysing too closely i thought i'd rather ask. Lazy :)
This is definitely good work, Lloyd.

A classic portrait, Lloyd. We need more brick wall shots like that :thumbup:

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm afraid there will be more motor sports this year. The S5 and the old 300mm is a surprisingly competent combo for this kind of shooting; sharp, fast enough and no blown highlights under the tropical sun. If somebody gave me a million, I would consider the new 200-400 though :p

More motor sports shots would be great! I know what you mean about that new 200-400, I read the specs, and am interested in the IQ. I know I'm pretty happy with the old version as is.
