Excellent picture Gunnar. Love the fact you use your boys as models as much as you do :o) They are beautiful and you really have taken a lot of great pictures of them... The colors in this one are really outstanding.. Well done.

Frábærar myndirnar þínar, þær eru virkilega fallegar.

Mögnuð mynd! Mér finnst litirnir æðislegir og noisið gerir hana dramatískari.

Til hamingju með sigurinn og með nýju vélina þína!

Wonderful! I love his expression, sooo delicate, the highlights in his hair, and the grain overall.

This lad probably already has females of all ages dropping at his feet. I love the dramatic lighting. The warm lighting works far better for me than gold paint and I like how the light in the background balances the composition. Great shot!

I like the noise in the photo and the portrait look but personally the subject vs. the challenge isn't really there IMO. But seeing that it is a nice shot and well composed... <6>

It's a very beautiful portrait. A shot I would be proud of. I am not too sure about the crop here and I have no idea how it was framed or cropped, but I do know that it was cropped for some reason.

I also believe that someone who can produce this portrait would have made a good judgement seeing it from a different point of view.

So whatever it is, I think it's one of the best images in the challenge.

** I have been observing the image while I was wring the comment, and the crop doesn't bother me that much anymore. I think I am seeing what you wanted me to see.

All the best.

No gold and yet so golden. This certainly has making of ribbon winner. The innocent look and the warm evening light makes this a 'golden' photo. This will surely be in top 5. There is a bit of noice in background but I dont know if it really is a negative for the photo. Goodluck.9.
