I can’t really compete with only four, USA, England, Canada and the Ivory Coast.

I too like this one. She has nice skin tones and I always like the African school girl haircut, it is just very honest to me. Looks like she has a great body too. As with some of the other posters here, a little less prominence of the face, bodyscapes or simply a different angle. Presuming you can work with her again, how about having a little fun with some androgeny? Maybe give her a top hat, cane and a cigar. Nothing else of course! Or maybe find a make up artist to do some crazy David Bowie style makeup. Would love to see more of her!

Nicely done, pretty girl. #2 is my favorite.

Ha! That's a good one. I once had a customer bitterly complaining of a blown speaker that had been going on for weeks. They demonstrated it for me, it was loud and obvious. I looked under the seat and found an empty Coors beer can sitting on top of the subwoofer making an awful racket. Some red faces there as well.

It may still be under warranty, 4 years 50K miles I believe. Often airbag and emissions systems have warranties even longer. I would call a GM dealer and ask.

Late, almost forgot about this one. Downtown Atlanta in the rain.

Nice one of Sleeping Giant in the background.

Calumet 4x5 and a Crown Graphic which I still have. I really liked working with that format.

My perhaps incorrectly stated point was just that, the rules often don't make sense.

I was in a local mall recently and was going to take a picture of the interesting ceiling beams with my little Fuji mirrorless. As soon as I got it out, an agitated mall cop rushed up to me and told me there was no professional photography in the mall without permission. I explained I was not a pro, just an enthusiast and I was not aware of that policy. I continued saying that I was not using the photos for commercial purposes. He started getting red in the face and got out his radio to call for backup. I put my camera away and asked him to explain the policy to me. He did, and I asked about cell phones, he said that was OK. He also said that if I had a person I was related to in the photos, that was OK. So apparently, one can use a 12MP cell phone to take pictures of the mall, but not a 12MP "real" camera, and I can take pictures of anything I want as long as my wife or daughter is in the picture. The whole thing made no sense.

Oh, and the only post processing was a B&W conversion.

It was my Nikon D610, with an 85mm f1.8 at 1/400 of a second at f2.8, ISO100. Taken just before sunset in the back yard. Glad you liked it.

Yes, that is mostly what I do and thank you, I particularly liked that one.

Looks good the way it is. I long resisted digital, stubbornly clinging to my Nikon F3, and my Calumet 4X5 and my darkroom. After a steep learning curve, lots of criticism and a few classes, I have embraced digital and am continually amazed at the capabilities of modern digital cameras. I use the same method, take one, look at it, adjust and do another. With a bit of practice, one can tell on that tiny screen what will look good on a large screen or print. Most of the time, all the post processing I do is B&W conversion. Keep practicing as I will!

Last I heard, the Rolls has a BMW 7 series chassis that is sent to England to have the English made body married to it.
