not showing much of a laugh here, you cannot really see it!

agrees with ade. You're not too anonymous when you keep entering the same person in different contests.

i know i was LOLing!

Happy lady but a little oof....

A great catch, what a shame the quality isn't higher.

The quality is okay. Tho it's dang hard to manually focus with a 600 mm lens handheld

Author, I'm sure it is, but that's what photography is all about. Get good equipement and learn to use it.

It's so much easier with a split focusscreen like in an old SLRs or liveview in the newer DSLRs.

With all do respect, i believed not everybody in this world got that "opportunity" to get good equipment like some people does. Nice captured on the moment, i know it is not easy with 600mm especially handheld.

@ mac. a 400mm old lens on ebay is like 50 euros. that's 600mm on a DX sensor. so no fat wallet needed

haahha ;P

Nice pic...But would have been better with her full face rather than a side one....

I wanted something different than a normal face portrait

works well, nicely done, great looking portrait

Lovely pic!

I like it.

love the composition!

so you took it anyway! ......has she seen it..........did she beat you?

And you survived? Congrats! Good luck!

a good shot, but not really an effect!

have to agree, not sure what "effect" you were going for here...
