Paul, I had a look at the 39 shots up at photo.net. They are nice work and the hint of a smile is a pleasant change.
Seeing your work makes me want to try my hand on a neighbor. She's one of my daughter's best friends since preschool. She was always chubby and moon faced, but is a swan at 22. She's thin and the moon face has turned into a china doll look with a complexion to match. Funny how that happens... Regards, Bob S.
