    I thought I would share with you my winning 'Celebration of Spring' competition photo.
    I tried to fit everything into it, blurred background but with highlights, soft foreground interest, and of course a stunning subject :) and I think you will agree that she is gorgeous :)
    I think it was my models professionalism that actually clinched it, rather than my photography. A gold reflector was used to give warmth.
    I hope you like it.

        I'm not sure if Ziggy is talking about the pic or the model, NG:dunno::whistle::heehee:

        It's a great image, and you obviously like your photography. What camera, lens, shutter speed and aperture did you use??:scratch::snork:

            Thanks comrades :)
            As for metadata, I would have to check out the original image on a pc. Not this silly tablet!
            I think I used a Canon 50mm prime lens.
            As for Zigs, I am sure he means both?? :heehee:

                          You are all so kind, and I know the model is very pleased with your comments :)
                          I hate saying 'the model', but I haven't named her for privacy reasons.
                          Have you all noticed that Zigs is staying very quiet :heehee:

                              I'll be really interested to see the exif data. It's a super portrait of a super young lady.
                              Only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the catchlights; still trying to make up my mind, but they seem just a bit too dominant. That's just me being hypercritical. It's an excellent photo!
