Babe Kennedy rocks. Next month is Macros? I’m IN.
Nice choice for the poll/voting thing. I’m sure it was time consuming counting the comments last time!
Kudos to the photographers, I like some of these a lot.
The Red Turban!! love it! great work! voted.
The red turban. I love the colors…
It’s spelled favORite, no ‘u’ :)
The Red Turban is awesome! Very nice shot! Heather is a close second!
Let this be a lesson to you all… Colour Calibration is important! I think my shot of Lucy turned out warmer that what it was when I was editing it. Dang.
Deep in Thought – love the use of light and shade to build an atmosphere and bring out the features. Thanks for doing this Lisa
Nice photos! However, the female models always seem to have that annoying knack of making the make-up seem too obvious. These aren’t too bad in that respect, but yeah, obvious large amounts of make-up is obvious. Use it as an art and not a blanket.
i love margot… do you have her phone number ??
but the red turbant its amazing
Lisa, I love you! Thank you so much for choosing mine as one of your faves.
The Red Turban is an excellent shot! I can’t believe we’re neck-and-neck. :-) Good luck to everyone.
deep in thought is amazing
it shows true emotion and sends across a message, unlike a lot of the others
Nathan,
Unlike our lazy southern neighbours, we do in fact spell it favourite!
Giddy-thanks for the pick, Lisa!
You’ve chosen some great portraits here. I can’t get enough of the one I took! I really want to do another shoot like it soon. :)
I really like ‘The Red Turban’ one. It caught me.
The colours in The Red Turban blow me away.
(and yes, that’s colours with a U)
The artistry of the “Heather” photo is remarkable!
I feel like I’ve already won just ending up in the top 8. Thanks Lisa.
Red Turban by Rob & Lauren all the way, it’s super clesh
