Say Hello to Max!

A young friend of mine will soon be graduating from high school. He wanted me to shoot his graduation picture. People pictures, and particularly those associated with special events like weddings or graduation make me anxious. I am always concerned about getting satisfactory results. I don't yet know about the results of our shoot today. I am still going through the pictures. But I thought I would post one that I processed for today's PAD.

Nikon D3 ,AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR
1/250s f/6.3 at 30.0mm iso280 full exif

I agree with Debbie. You are a very special photographer. Remember, nearly 14 yrs ago, you did Rachel & David's wedding & did a great job then, also.
Carl Carbone12-May-2013 16:44
I understand your anxiety, but you did a terrific job!

This shot is a winner! Love the light, the relaxed feel and the setting. Oh yeah, the smile is pretty great too.
Jeanne Newman11-May-2013 15:35
Beautifully shot! The best portraits are those that pull the viewer into the image, engaging them as if the person was right there. You nailed it with this one, Vern! v.
Laura Milholland11-May-2013 15:05
That's very nice, Vern. A great smile and setting, and he looks so at ease. Nicely done!
Judith Barnett11-May-2013 14:50
I dont think you have anything to worry about based on this one but I do understand your concern. That is why I stick to birds, animals and landscapes! The colors are really nice and I like playful sun hi-lights in the image.
Chris Gibbins11-May-2013 14:48
Great lighting, and I like the off-centre composition, too.
Steve Thuman11-May-2013 14:20

very nice wonderful image
Debbie 11-May-2013 05:36
We LIKE it, Vern! We are now more anxious than ever to see more. There was no one we would rather have do Max's pictures. They're special because they're graduation pictures but most importantly because you're the photographer. Thank you many times over! Debbie Roy & Max
