haha, I try, but portraits=weak spot for me...
Your biggest issue here is that the crop doesn't go with the pose (the hands behind the head). You might find that it looks better with more room around your model - some say that you should never crop elbows. I'm not sure how true this is, but hey... Otherwise, if you tried the same style of image, but with the pose changed to folded arms, you might have something.
It's too bad I didn't have the nifty fifty for this shot. Shutter speeds were terrible.

WOW. ISO 1600 with ur XT? That is pretty awesome, my XSi sucks more at ISO 800 even. Was this handheld? I think it turned out great for what you had to work with anyhow.
Here is my contribution for today...taken on my trip home to Pakistan at the crappy beach we have beach, if you can call it a beach.
Love the sky... which, combined with direct sunlight, really brings out the texture and colour of the stonework...
Ocad in Toronto!
Nice. I tried to take this exact picture yesterday, but wasn't pleased with the angles. You've captured it nicely.
Well done.
Thanks a bunch. I liked it a lot due to the colours as well. Such an odd design but atleast it's interesting.
las vegas. tried out a new program to process the hdr: hdr max. so far I am starting to like it
Thanks Doylem, it was a very cloudy afternoon, threatening to pour down with rain, but the occasional burst of sunlight made some interesting lighting conditions.
Thanks! I never understand when people complain about ISO 800/1600. It's perfectly fine to me. And the XT's 1600 is even worse than the XSi's 1600!
It was handheld, when you zoom in more you can see movement reflected in the lights on the tree but in web size you can't see it.I like the scope of your shot, and the little trash in the front adds something I like to the photo. Don't ask me what, though, because I don't know!

is that near Karachi? I was there back in 91 and my dad's friend took us out partridge hunting in a 4x4 out on the beach and nearby fields. it was a blast. we ate well that day, too!
Are you REaDy? My new coupe.
This brings up bad memories to me, now my eyes are all watery. I lost a really good friend last year, he was kidnapped and killed because some low-lifes wanted to steal his car, this same model.
It was more than sad. OK, back to work.
Mine for today:
WOW this is an awesome find in an outstanding scene.
I am a sucker for rust and things lost in time and space.
You did a great job here.
One of the roller coaster that I didn't go on at Knotts Berry Farm.
That looks scary and fun. I love the composition.

Why thank you.
Instead of actually going on the rides, I just took photos of them. Jaguar! was the biggest one that I went on...
Jaguar? Really?!Why thank you.

I like the shot as well. Good framing and PP. Next time though, try going on actual rides!
Las Vegas Casino in HDR
Finally getting around to more pictures from Vegas.
I think it's subconscious.... I want warm weather again...
*Sick shot of the rollercoaster - I sort of wish there was a little bit more off to the left because it's got my interest now!
