Originally posted by emorgan49: I could same something lame about the lovely muted colors, the compositional use of diagonals, perfect DOF. But I can't find words to decribe the magic of this gentle portrait.

i don`t even have the tehnical words he mentioned.. and i hope i never will. the image is trully peaceful and it manages to pass it on to the viewer. that`s why i think it a great shot.

Fixed! Thanks Healing Brush! Oh yeah, Noise was partially intentional. It happened by happenstance and I liked it once it got into monochrome, so I left it in and accentuated it a bit.

This one very active and has emotion, a bit orange i think though.
edit to say a bit orange in the face, the rest of the colors are perfect.

I like this one, your lighting is good, maybe turned just a bit more into the sun would have been better and i agree with tinky that the spots on the face are distracting, maybe just a touch neat image to clean it up.

This is lovely. I love the expressions on their faces. The little specks on his face and in her hair are a bit distracting but you could easily clone them out.

I think I know whats missing, her face. It is quite hard to make a very telling portrait without showing someone's face since that is what we look for first in communicating any emotion. The motion works well because she does appear to be in pretty decent focus and it definetly gives it a playfull feel. I would keep experiementing with them, you can do some fantasic stuff with a slightly longer than average shutter speed.
