superb. the texture of the satin is so beautiful and rich. the draping is the perfect way to show off your talent and that of your camera. the lighting is spot on! so glad to see you back!

great lightning and superb colors ...awesome capture and welcome back:)

Oh, good Lawd, what a beautiful capture. I mean this is superb. I'm going to get the 5D also but I will wait awhile for them to get the bugs out and for the price to come down a little since I just got the 50D. Please let me know when you post a picture using the 5D Mark II. Once again, this image is absolutely superb.

This is a lovely image, embellished by the richness of the gold, red lips and the fabric on the seat. No clutter and she is well posed. Well done for composing this.

However, is it too honest? The strong contrast and exact focus/depth of field detracts from the romance.

So instead of being heart broken, I'm wondering if she has heartburn.

That aside 'You've been FAVED!' 10.

Well worth the wait, Paul. I'm jealous. Fabulous image. My dad's name was Romeo. lol

My goodness thats a lovely image. It reminds me of medievil paintings in its beauty. Saved and Faved.

Fantastic shot! Very Renaissance-like!

Wonderful photo.This would make one of the old masters a great subject painting.

O yes do I like your camera. Great shot, Paul. A 10 in my book.

A nice classic feeling, exellent shot. Great camera to

spectacular. Lighting excellent.

Wow! The render at 3200 is fantastic! Enjoy your 5DII... :-)

WOW Paul.. what a way to come back... absolutely stunning the capture of light and her expression is just fantastic

Glad to see you posting again Paul. Had this 'masterpiece' in the VB. Don't tell you however how I valuated it. Tell you only that I 'saved & faved' your post (lol).
Thanks for this splendid artwork!

This fantastic image was well worth the wait! The lighting, colors and details are excellent

Welkom terug Paul...vakwerk! Mich.

Glad to see you back..So Fantastic shot with Beautiful colors and details.

Hello Dear friend....Paul this of course is magnificent! How fortunate for you to be able to get such a grand camera and take such a beautiful photo. I agree with all the others, the folds and the fabric show absolutely wonderful. The colour is perfect, and I know you will be out shooting for new things all the time now. I can hardly wait to see more. I just wish this woman who posed wouldn't have had such a blank stare on her face, she doesn't exactly appear to be a
"Juliet"! She actually looks a bit shocked...but the photo is excellent. Verena

Really impressive performance for 3200, like always great shots. You're probably one of the best photographs here on caedes.

Beautiful light Paul. Love the gold.

Beautiful portrait Paul!The clarity and colors are perfect, and the outfit makes this photo to look so antique and yet so professional!You are an artist!

Alexxandra.

This is a BEAUTIFUL photo shot Paul. Such clarity and detail of this very pretty lady.

WELCOME BACK

A Camera is just a TOOL. What makes photographs like these SHINE is the person running the camera.... While I'm thrilled you have such a great a new "toy," Paul, your work stands out because you have a superb knack for putting good tools like this one into perfect action. Bravo! Wen

I think I need more coffee ... for the life of me I can't tell if this is a photo of a painting (classical) or that of a real life shot?

In other words ... absolutely stunning Paul. You have indeed created a masterpiece here.

So nice to 'see' you back and congrats on having your new camera in hand.

Hope my words here find you and yours well. Belated Happy New Year. And best wishes (and happy shooting) for the year that is now upon us. :o)


Stunning work.

Thank you.

If only it took just buying this camera to shoot so well! This is a marvelous shot, Paul. The color, lighting and superb clarity make it a joy to study. I look forward to more with this camera in your hands.
