I was going to question your choice of framing but now I remember you saying you were doing this series in portrait mode! Doh!

Good stuff, mate. Nice focus, depth of field and framing. Dig it!

BTW, living outside of the concrete jungle myself, I realise nature can be a real pain in B&W but you've done very well in the other shots too. I particularly liked the river shots.

That's one comment and I ain't doing 69 more!

feel free to add that 69 anytime if u wanna!

Thank you for the comment and the fav! Yeah, i've seen one too many Bambi-ish shots so i thought i'd wanna try be different, and not just on portrait mode, but also in b/w.

Hey, the only thing that's really a pain in the arse in photography is to get a child to sit still... with a Hasselblad!

Thank you so much, Mich! Yeah, we're so stressed up by our daily chores that we forget how it's like to even have fun and enjoy the true meanings of pure happiness..

Thank you! The perks of going beyond the conventional - shooting with expensive gears underwater without any protection for the camera.

Good work - love the grain and the texture of the water. Great to see someone willing to go that extra mile for the shot

Thank you! That's coz i used a film camera... I doubt i'd dare use a dSLR unless it's a 1Ds MKii doing this.
