I took a few shots of my neighbours son. I like how they turned out Shot with 55mm Micro Nikkor and D700. I shot these in my living room, and didn't really want to go any for anything wider than head shots, and the 85mm 1.8 wasn't working for me with it's mfd.
The chalet which is the main feature of the shot, is just past the Prarion Ski lift in Les Houches and is part of a new development from chalet and apartment builds, "MGM". The background of the shot is Mount Blanc and i tried to capture the "White Mountain", without the normal "Hat". His hat is normally a small area of cloud resting around the top of the peak in the winter months. 1024 x 683 | Orignal Download | PhotoStream | Image Licence You can use the image and edit, but full credit to myself Bentleya and a link to my photostream must be present if posting somewhere else.

Slyjacques, that's a beautiful shot - love the slightly quizzical look on her face. Here's my latest shot, one from last year's sabbatical to China. It's a yak!
The main part of this shot is the snow part leading up though the forest with Mount Blanc in the Background. The forest is a hidden Gem in Les Houches with view of Mont Blanc and clear walking paths which turn into the town cross country circuit during the winter months. The forest boasts many great features from small streams running down rocks, to vast ice walls which locals practise they ice climbing. 1024 x 683 | Orignal Download | PhotoStream | Image Licence You can use the image and edit, but full credit to myself Bentleya and a link to my photostream must be present if posting somewhere else.

Great shot, slyjacques. I like the composition with her on the left and the wind blowing her hair to the right. As Sifter3000, I like the look on her face - her demeanor appears natural, and not at all staged or posed. On top of that, the fact that the flowers on her dress match the flowers in the field is a fun touch to the overall image. I hope you have this printed and hung on your wall.
