B.D.,

Long time no see !
Presumptuous of me to comment on your photos, but here I go:

Why presumptuous? isn't that what we all post for?:-)

The photos draw me in; I want to see more details, and wish
the photos are larger.  Chloe is absolutely adorable and your photos show
it.
Where does the light on Chloe6
(http://www.leica-gallery.net/bdcolen/image-28145.html)
come from ?

As best I recall - and the photos of Chloe were shot in England last
summer - the light on Chloe's face came from the ambient light in the
restaurant, and a window to my left - her right.

Did you shoot from the ceiling on Chloe3
(http://www.leica-gallery.net/bdcolen/image-28134.html)  :-)  ?

Nope. I was standing, using a 21 - I'm 6'1, and towered over Chloe's Mom...I
could have bent my knees and shot that way, but I wanted to get as much of
the scene in as I could vertically.....

I don't care for (don't get ?) the distortion in gh-on-pool-ledge.jpg
(http://www.leica-gallery.net/bdcolen/image-28149.html) ?
I love the tonality of these B&W photos on the screen.  Bet they are awesome
on print.

Thanks....As to the distortion, that's what makes for the proverbial horse
races...I specifically wanted that distortion...the swimmer turned into a
frog..:-)
