Nicely done, Sly! I'm sure they will treasure it!

boyooso - I've seen lovely portrait work here on APUG done on 4x5 or larger. My hesitation to date has been not feeling confident with myself. I've attempted before a couple of times to use the 4x5, with not very good results - getting flustered because I'm being watched and doing something dopey like forgetting to stop down. Luckily the only boo-boo I made this time was trying to take a photo with the darkslide still in - which, didn't waste film, and was quickly remedied.

I've been trying to get out at least once a week with the 4x5, and am getting more sure of myself, so I'll use it for portraiture more often.

Beautiful... Fantastic focus.... thanks ....

WOW, this is outstanding. could the reason for it being the best like be becasue it took slightly longer to set up and a little more time with detail?

great job.

Quite awesome. Tactile image because of the light and the sharpness. And the pose is original. K

This portrait is so moving, it actually brought tears to my eyes...

Thank you everyone. Their baby boy was born this morning. He is joining a wonderful family.
