I love this picture, wonderful lighting. I like it more if you crop out the top cloud, or at least part of it, as I find it too dark for the rest of the image.
Still wonderful though.
M@lew ... you should buy her dinner too. ( http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3274/2306833543_f4f98ea5c0.jpg )
She needs food more than you need a hood ...

Shutter: 1/60 // Aperture: f/6.4 // Focal Length: 190 mm // ISO 1600
Thanks so much Carl.
Fett, is that a Cadbury's Creme Egg in French?! I didn't know you could get those beauties over there....
Top work everyone else, I feel very jealous that I'm stuck in torrential rain storms
I didn't even realize that it was the french side. In Canada we have French and English on everything. I'm not sure if they have them in France or anywhere beside north america.
Is that any better? I had cropped out even more, but you're right, it was still a big 'ol dark cloud. And its pouring today.

Nice smiles, but what's growing out of her head...?
Another studio shot. I did this one for the strobist flickr group and if you click on the photo you can see the setup shot.

Signatures
So I'm posting this, in fact I registered on this site just to post this, because I want to make a comment/get feedback from people on signatures in photos and other works of art. While I understand digital media is different then other traditional mediums I find it distracting, at times even annoying, when someone puts their signature/copyright mark in big distracting letters anywhere from a 1/2 to an inch and a half from the corner. As a painter I do not want people to be distracted by a signature that stands out and draws attention away from the work they are supposed to be looking at. Not to single anyone out but someone in this thread that comes to mind is Carlos Robles, he takes beautiful pictures but I spend 3/4 of my time staring at his signature cause it is glaring. I can undestand the need to put your signature in a place that can't be easily photoshopped out but in all honesty anyone with even a little photoshop knowledge could remove these sigs. Not that I want to start a flame war, but as an artist myself I wanted to make the comment and see how other people felt about this phenomenon

With paintings, you don't have as much to worry about. With photographs on the web, basic deterrents are necessary. People with basic photoshop skills probably could take out the watermark or signature, but the majority of people do not have photoshop skills (on this site, yes, overall - no).
I can't comment on why others put signatures on their photos but I put them on mine because I post to flickr. People have been known to download others photos and try and pass them off as their own. I put the signature on so it makes their job a little harder. If I uploaded the photo directly here or on my own site it would have no signature.
It would probably be best to start a new thread so the discussion on signatures doesn't derail this thread.
