Hi Jacques,
That is neat, the rock outlines does follow her profile.
Well seen and taken.

Very good, I like the way the face even same color with the rocks at the back viewed very nicely, surely the lighting helps a lot as gives that white - shining areas on her face. Good!

wow, Jacques! Good eye to notice that! It's always fun to find faces or profiles in the rocks like that. I guess you'll have to call it "Mayan Rock Art" hahaha. Great portrait shot. Cheers, Gary

Now, this shot has some style Jacques, you have been clever enough to include the s/speed and aperture......I wonder if a larger aperture and a faster s/speed would blur the background out a bit and bring more power to the subject without losing the amazing background outline that you mention?.....then again what you have done is probably deliberate, it's a nicely exposed and balanced composition, well done. cheers, david.

jac,
Oh, my Gosh, you butt face you. How could you have kept this "Masterpiece" from me for so long?
I can't believe "My Eyes"... "My Hat is Off to you Sir"... ;)
"Award Winning"
Now that is a: "Portrait" indeed... 20 +++++
Awesome Lighting, Shadows DOF, Sharpness, Tones, Textures, Colours and Bokeh...
OUTSTANDING,
Martin

jac,
Now you can see what I was talking about, when I told you about Portraits. A shutter speed of 1/125 @ f/8.0 is perfect for portraits, as you can see above.
However landscapes are another story... Which should be shot at a much deeper DOF, like f/22, or f/32, using a much slower shutter speed... ;)
You can shoot very slow, without a tripod, as well... Just use the IS setting on your lens and the hood of your truck to steady the shot, or something solid... ;)
Heck I have used the same lens to shoot a waterfall with a shutter speed of 1/5 @ f/5.6 hand held with the support of the rocks to steady the camera. It was a very low light setting, indeed and I would have shot it with a 1 second shutter speed using a much deeper DOF if I had my tripod with me, that day... LMAO... I'll post it bellow... ;)
Hope this helps,
Martin

Je suis très en accord avec toutes ces belles critiques concernant cette magnifique composition, naturellement agrémenté par Maya. On croirait quasiment que le rocher qui juxtaposé juste derrière elle est sa sculture dans le rock !!!
Et puis on dirait qu'elle un air amérindien !!?
Bravo Jacques.
Salutations

Jacques, your daughter is quite attractive. I havent looked through all your photos yet, but if you havent already, you should employ her as a model. By the way, this is a place (Monument valley) on my list to visit as well, but I rarely leave this side of the earth these days. Must get back sometime to North America.
Warmest regards ~ James

thanks again James. the southwest of the states is a real nice place to visit... should suggest to go there in springtime or autumn. In summertime it's really hot (but I didn't have choice is I want to bring the kids with us :) )
many thanks again James.
