Me 'n' her. The gracious lady that keeps me sane.
What a treat. I'm glad you got her face more lit. Yours I've seen many times before so 1/2 is good enough.

great tonal image..love the use of the hand to connect the two figures
December 8th, 2016  
what a fantastic photo! love it
December 8th, 2016  
@shylaine3304 Thank you very much :)
@hrs Thank you kindly, much appreciated
@mcsiegle I know, I know...I reckon I get away with a quarter these days!
December 8th, 2016  
Appears you're propping her up. What have you done?
December 8th, 2016  
@kevin365 Ummm...nothing...?
December 8th, 2016  
For some reason, I find this charming. Sharp as a tack, with great light. Mrs. S is the bomb. You both are well met. :)
December 8th, 2016  
Looks like a movie poster. Horror one, of course. Love it...
December 8th, 2016  
@patopeters Thank you very much - she's lovely really...
@rosiekerr Thank you....I suppose ;)
December 8th, 2016  
Great portrait! Fav!
December 8th, 2016  
@mikegifford Thank you very much :)
December 8th, 2016  
5+2 gratitude

very cool, for your Christmas card??
December 8th, 2016  
@kali66 I don't know that it's gratitude ;) As for the Xmas card...working on a shot for that occasion. It won't be cheerful or festive.
December 8th, 2016  
Awesome lighting. That is one brave lady.
December 8th, 2016  
So glad to see your better half is still with us and well. You owe her something very nice for posing for this one! Big treat!
December 8th, 2016  
She looks like a lady filled to the rim with patience, love and a good dose of sterness when necessary
December 8th, 2016  
Very nice! I like that you've shadowed it so that you see half of you, but you are clearly presenting her in entirety.
December 8th, 2016  
@jyokota Thank you very much - I think Mrs S looks at her best in her entirety whereas I am most definitely best left in shadow!
@newbank She is at that...and she still manages to giggle like the schoolgirl that I met all those years ago.
@shepherdmanswife Yes indeed...apparently slapping her bottom doesn't count though...who knew...
@karlow75 She has my constant admiration ;)
December 8th, 2016  
You're sane? 😀 This is excellent. Fantastic lighting and looks most excellent on black. A big fav for me 👍👍
December 8th, 2016  
@paul10 Thank you very much - I like to pretend that I have lucid moments...
December 8th, 2016  
mrs s! good to see you. fabulous light
December 8th, 2016  
@pistache Thank you kindly - I always think it's good to see her as well ;)
December 8th, 2016  
Rob
Great lighting and depth to this

December 8th, 2016  
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻fav!
December 8th, 2016  
"Sane" ;)
December 8th, 2016  
Pretty amazing on black - I'm loving what you do. When you hold an exhibition I will come and have a look.
December 8th, 2016  
Amazing on black
December 8th, 2016  
Brilliant portrait!! Fantastic lighting!! I love your hand on her shoulder connecting you both! Very powerful! Fav of course!!
December 8th, 2016  
fantastic
December 8th, 2016  
You will yet make it as a wedding photographer.
December 8th, 2016  
Great portrait shot, but do tell her to try harder! Fav
December 8th, 2016  
@jyokota I agree with Junko. Love the light, distance and the focus being tack sharp on you both!
December 8th, 2016  
It is surprising to see someone else in your story! awesome shot!
December 8th, 2016  
very cool G
December 8th, 2016  
BRILLIANT, and hello Mrs S...
December 8th, 2016  
@tonygig Thank you very much...I'm sure she'd say hello straight back at ya but she's gone to work...
@adi314 Thank you very much :)
@olenadole Thank you very much :)
@darylo Thank you very much - she deserves sharp focus. (I can't believe I just said that...soppy git)
@pusspup Thank you kindly - she does her best with what she's got to work with...it can't be easy on her ;)
@scotthouston Oh dear lord, I can see the results now...I think my business would go downhill rapidly
@pinkpaintpot Thank you very much :)
@pamknowler Thank you so much - I wasn't allowed to put my hand anywhere else... ;)
@barb_b Thank you so much :)
@dkbarnett Thank you very much - hopefully next year. It's a bit difficult at the moment as Mrs. S is a poor student, so every penny counts.
@humphreyhippo I know, it made me laugh as well...
@domenicododaro Thank you very much :)
December 8th, 2016  
I really do love this creative side of you Graeme
December 8th, 2016  
@silverhorn Thank you...someone really should stop me before I hurt myself ;)
December 8th, 2016  
Lee
My other half would never do this, so well done to yours. How did you temp her though..Looks great on black I think you should have this one printed Graeme.
December 8th, 2016  
She deserves a medal. As often with your wonderful b&w's Graeme, fantastic on black.
December 8th, 2016  
Good to meet you, Ma'am! You are almost doing a good job!
December 8th, 2016  
@yrhenwr She does the best she can with the second rate raw materials.
@365projectorgsebgritt Thank you very much - I think she needs more than medal...I know what I'm like!
@gamelee Thank you very much - I just asked her nicely and promised that I'd do some housework...
December 8th, 2016  
Clearly the hand is to keep your dear wife from scarpering. But I agree with Seb some sort of medal is required for beyond the call of duty or some such thing.
December 8th, 2016  
I can't imagine what you would be like without this saintly lady , or are there a pair of you? na there couldn't be..either way glorious shot that is stunning on black . A fav... it's for Mrs S...
December 8th, 2016  
What have you done to the lovely @kimkyra... you've persuaded her over to the darkside! That said - fabulous comp, PoV lighting... this is simply wonderful. IOU 1 million Favs!
December 8th, 2016  
Love it! Good of both of you. You were very persuasive!
December 8th, 2016  
Ok just admit it - you coerced a model into posing with you didn't you? 😉
(It's ok..someone has to marry the models...!)
December 8th, 2016  
Great twofer. Love it.
December 8th, 2016  
Stunning on black as usual. Nice to see your better half.
December 8th, 2016  
By the way, another FAV
December 8th, 2016  
@susiangelgirl Thank you very much - by far and away the better half!
@golftragic Thank you kindly :)
@cottiac It only took a bribe of some red wine...
@maggiemae Thank you very much...coercive, threatening...who's going to know ;)
@vignouse Thank you very much - she's been here for quite some time, just a happier version of the dark ;)
@jack4john Thank you - my fav is for her as well ;)
@theboxmanreturns She certainly puts up with a lot...I believe the almost constant explosions make her somewhat nervous as she's constantly making sure that the insurance is up to date :)
December 8th, 2016  
tough job for the kind lady, eh?
December 9th, 2016  
Nice to see your lady! Fabulous shot!
December 9th, 2016  
@kwind Thank you very much :)
@summerfield Sometimes more than she was expecting I suspect
December 9th, 2016  
So nice to see her - and love how your hand is keeping her seated :) Superb portrait, perfect lighting.
December 9th, 2016  
Mrs. S keep him thinking.... We know that he is a real cupcake at heart.
December 9th, 2016  
I bet you creep her out sometimes. lol
December 9th, 2016  
Powerfull composition and portait full off caracter under professionnalisme Light FAV
December 9th, 2016  
Great dramatic portrait- could be shown to potential suitors
December 9th, 2016  
@adayinmallacoota Thank you very much - many of my shots should keep them well away ;)
@ducasrouge Thank you very much :)
@miata2u "sometimes"...I like your optimism... ;)
@joysabin I'll thank you not to be spreading the vicious truth like that ;)
@kerosene It was my charm that kept her seated :))
December 9th, 2016  
Very strong and powerfull picture. The light is perfect. Like it a lot.
December 9th, 2016  
I see a touch of humour in this ladies face. !!!
December 10th, 2016  
@joannakate She has no choice...I'm always doing something to deserve being laughed at
@mona65 Thank you so much :)
December 10th, 2016  
Sweet💜💜
December 10th, 2016  
Nice to see Mrs S. If she keeps you sane.... I'd hate to see what you'd be like without her. :)
December 10th, 2016  
@swillinbillyflynn You and me both ;)
@joemuli That's one way of putting it ;)
December 10th, 2016  
Really good!
December 10th, 2016

@taffy Thank you so much :)
December 11th, 2016  
Super cool portrait!!
December 11th, 2016  
@overalvandaan Thank you very much :)
December 12th, 2016  
Excellent! I had a shot planned for the challenge but couldn't get it executed. Darn kids suck up all my time!
December 14th, 2016  
@kt8ird This time of year seems to be a "time sucker" for everyone...and thank you :)
December 14th, 2016  
Congratulations for getting to #2 in the Top Twenty! Nice to see yours up there! Of course it only made it there because your lovely long suffering wife modeled for you!
December 16th, 2016  
@shepherdmanswife I honestly didn't expect this shot to get anywhere near the top 20. Believe it or not it was posted as a "gag" shot, nothing more...so really you people have no one to blame but yourselves :))
December 16th, 2016  
December 16th, 2016  
This is spectacular, Graeme! Congrats on the TT! Or should I say, well deserved Top Three? Huge belated fav!
December 17th, 2016  
@kareenking Thank you very much indeed :)
December 18th, 2016  
Your hand looks almost disembodied- wonderful lighting and superbly intense dynamics between the two of you
December 29th, 2016  
@mrsc19 Thank you very much - she keeps me sane. You should all be eternally grateful :)
