Many thanks for taking time for this post, flyboy. Your kind comment is greatly appreciated if it was directed to me. Following Thomas’ excellent examples is difficult, and I wasn’t sure whether you were directing your reply to him or me. 😀

I thought you did a great job, Vicki. I was impressed with the rapport you established with each model to bring out their best look. Well done.

Your kind comments are greatly appreciated, John. I’d like to do more portrait work when time permits. There’s so much more to learn.

I photographed weddings when I was young. There’s always more to learn about the technical skills but the most important thing was getting everyone to relax, look comfortable and smile. You did it perfectly in every portrait. Even the dog was smiling. They were all responding to your wonderful personality. Well done, Vicki.

You are very kind, John. If I had it to do over, I think I would have enjoyed wedding photography. At this late date, I think birds on the back deck and flowers are more my speed. Keeping pace with pp software remains a challenge, too. It seems there aren’t enough hours in the day for everything I want to do, never mind having the energy. 😏
