  1. Very nice! I like the shallow depth of field with the very colorful crowd in the background - but not taking away from the painted face (and matching shirt!) A very fun portrait.

  8. From the texture of his hair to the texture of his beard, you've captured the spirit of this young man beautifully.

  11. Great photo of the consummate tennis fan. As I check on my favorite blogs I am watching Superbowl XLIV. The Colts are looking very strong.

  14. What a great shot ... person in sharp focus and crowd blured. Can you image yourself being passionate enough to paint yourself like that ... I'm certainly not.
