Gary, You do look a bit "gritty" in the shot and I agree let others decide on best. As for mothers in law.......another individual choice.......they say their daughters end up just like em! So we could be seeing into the future when we look at them? lol
Cheers

Is that a cuckoo I hear...... Ned.




That is so neat! How'd you do the smoke? I've tried photographing smoky wisps (on its own) a couple times, but I can never get the execution down

:nunu: Tess I have taken a masonic oath to protect the capturing of smoke images on the pain of death. Check your PM's for more details.

There are some primitive tribes that won't let you photograph people. It's said if you photograph someone you capture their essence and very soul and they are your prisoners. Its nothing to do with the smoke oath I just thought you should know lol :rofl:

Sorry
