Nice portraits! I like the setting and tones.

How awesome. Love the dog and lovely dress. Great models!
March 16th, 2015  
Looks like a 1920's photo. Lovely
March 16th, 2015  
Lovely! (not often I get to say that on one of your pix...)
March 16th, 2015  
Love this!
March 16th, 2015  
Neat bird! Wonderful dress. Nice focus. Slobbering dog, I bet!

Very nice portrait. :)
March 16th, 2015  
Gorgeous portrait!
March 16th, 2015  
Wow another (non-selfie) portrait. I knew you had a soft side. No worries, I won't tell. ;-)
March 16th, 2015  
@eyeamlisa Yes, please keep it a secret ;)
@yeshanghai Thanks very much :)
@swillinbillyflynn Thank you kindly :)
@lifepause Thanks very much indeed :)
@maggiemae The dog is a head case, this was the first time it sat still all day!
@homeschoolmom Thank you so much :)
@melston Let's not make a habit of it then ;)
@pandorasecho Thank you very much :)
@amandal They were both pretty good...once the dog sat still
March 16th, 2015  
I like - if I were the lass I would prefer to be called Tilly
cool portrait sir
March 16th, 2015  
So dig the pups smile:).
March 16th, 2015  
Excellent shot.
March 16th, 2015  
@888rachel Thank you kindly :)
@amandal You haven't been victim to the slobber that comes with that smile ;)
@annied Yes, I'd like to be called Tilly as well
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens yes - I have always pictured you as a Tilly
March 16th, 2015  
I do believe that dog is smiling at you! Wonderful portrait!
March 16th, 2015  
Lovely portrait... It is fun to say "lovely" about your shot. :) Very nicely done.
March 16th, 2015  
Great quasi-period piece Graeme.
March 16th, 2015  
@golftragic Thanks very much :)
@rosiekerr We won't be making a habit of it though, will we? ;)
@tabarlett Thank you very much...and slobbering as well
@annied What with my trade marked flounce and all, I'd be a perfect Tilly
March 16th, 2015  
Love all those lines! It's a lovely portrait.
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens yes and I can see you rocking that style - ropes instead of the dress of course
March 16th, 2015  
Great portrait Hope you had a coat on standby it was freezing yesterday!
March 16th, 2015  
@taffy Thanks very much :)
@colleenbrown88 It was roasting here yesterday!
@annied Just ropes?
March 16th, 2015  
Great portrait. I really like it. It looks awesome in b&w too.
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens well yes the dress would hide your one pack but besides we all love ropes
March 16th, 2015  
@karlow75 Thanks very much sir ;)
@annied Yes, yes we do.
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens see I know things :)
March 16th, 2015  
Does she mind being called a bird?
March 16th, 2015  
love this, really cool portrait
March 16th, 2015  
Wow, how lovely you have such contrasting models. Fay is the dog!
March 16th, 2015  
Sam
I think Tilly needs to eat a bit more :)
March 16th, 2015  
@annied I have never doubted it
@dibzgreasley I sincerely hope not...
@andrewkru Thanks very much indeed :)
@yaorenliu Thanks very much, but no, Tilly is the dog... ;)
@gigiflower You're not wrong, I'd be worried if I hadn't seen her eat. She was also Prince Charming in a local production...quite insulting
March 16th, 2015  
Nice dress! And nice shot too.
March 16th, 2015  
Very nice image and great title :)
March 16th, 2015  
Super cool portrait of both, love the track too, and the darker trees in the background with the lighter foreground!
March 16th, 2015  
Great portrait, Graeme.
March 16th, 2015  
Lucky dog! :-) Superbly done. Love the setting and the processing.
March 16th, 2015  
How can you not have more Fav's? This is FAB U LOUS Darling.
March 16th, 2015  
cool dress!
March 16th, 2015  
nice
March 16th, 2015  
Sue
Really nice.
March 16th, 2015  
@sioux Thanks very much :)
@denisefuller Thank you kindly :)
@blueberry1222 I'll pass that on ;)
@newbank I thank you most kindly nice lady.
@yrhenwr Indeed and thank you very much :)
@bigugly Thanks very much :)
@overalvandaan Thanks very much, kind of happened by accident!
@hermann Thanks very much on both counts ;)
@whimsicalgrateful Thanks very much indeed
March 16th, 2015  
Nice shot. Love the look on the models face The dog looks more keen...
March 16th, 2015  
@jaynspain Thanks - that dog is a complete nutbar so this was snapped on one of the rare occasions when it was still and 'calm'
March 16th, 2015  
Haha! Well you know what they say about animals and never working. Don't know about the animals bit but I would be happy to never work I think...
March 16th, 2015  
Beautiful shot! Love how dog and model go togehter with their colors!
March 16th, 2015  
@nicoleterheide Thanks very much :)
@jaynspain You and me both - I don't who I'd give the bills to though!
March 16th, 2015  
Great capture, Graeme.
March 16th, 2015  
@anazad511 Thanks very much :)
March 16th, 2015  
Tilly has to be the dig...we have dogs over the years called Tilly....one got run over by the tractor! This could grace the pages of Vogue magazine I reckon.....great bird in beautiful plumage! Hope you paid her well!
March 16th, 2015  
Fantastic!! Lighting is perfect.
March 16th, 2015  
@happypat Tilly is indeed the dog. We're doing a series of photo shoots in partnership with a hair dresser and make up artist for women that suffer from very low self esteem, personal issues etc. etc.
@divast8er Thanks very much indeed
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens Sounds a very worthwhile cause...if she is not very proud of herself there she should be!
March 16th, 2015  
@happypat It surprises both Kim and I. All of the shoots we've done so far have been for ladies in their 20's, slim, attractive, great jobs, apparently settled and stable in every way on the outside...makes you wonder whats going on.
March 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens you dio indeed....they don't realise how good they look & all their fantastic life in front of them plus living in a fabulous place like NZ, it's a shame ! Keep up,the good work!
March 16th, 2015  
Lee
Fabulous shot, What breed is the dog?
March 16th, 2015  
Wonderful, bit of a mean machine, I bred Staffordshire Bull's for over 25years, looks like its got a bit of Bull in it Graeme???.
March 16th, 2015  
@gamelee Thanks...ummm...one of those. I don't it's mother said much...
@tonygig Thanks - I honestly have no idea...but at a guess I'd say so
March 16th, 2015  
They're both gorgeous:)
March 17th, 2015  
@joemuli I'll tell them that - which one do I scratch behind the ear?
March 17th, 2015  
Wow....I saw this and very surprised ...fabulous job....they both deserve a quick scratch...funny face on the pup! Amazing! Fav!
March 17th, 2015  
Awesome!
March 17th, 2015  
@bill_fe Thank you very much :)
@nanderson Thanks very much - that dog is a lunatic
March 18th, 2015  
Fabulous on black. I like the setting and the natural frame it creates and the toning is perfect.
March 18th, 2015  
@vignouse Thank you kindly good sir
March 18th, 2015  
I don't care who is who, but I really, really like the dog!! Great picture! FAV!
March 19th, 2015
