 Picture of my beautiful daughter, Valérie, taken at the ecomuseum in Montreal.

And, "Yes", I know there's another picture of her in the same challege. For the last year, I've been trying to get her boyfriend to start taking pictures and participate in DPC.

His username is Dr_toto, and he finally decided to start. Here's a picture of both of them taken on the same day.



He's having my D50, and my daughter was using my old Panasonic FZ-20.

Valerie's Spring... perfect metaphor for her age. I think the B&W really makes this photo pop.

Very nice. Good placement of your subject to control the natural light. The background could have been slightly more blurred to emphasize your main subject.

The black and white tones on this are really amazing.

good B&W, but I think that stick coming out of here eye competes withe the action of her blowing the dandelion... maybe just a bit different angle or shallower DOF.

Background is a little too busy for my taste; maybe a shallower DOF. 6
