Not all portraits have to be serious

[sm4him]

Can I post some not serious pics?

Seems like it would be best to do that in your own thread.

My hope was to have this be a thread to share everyone's funny portraits. My apologies for having a dream.

By all means start a thread for that purpose. Forum etiquette is that unless a thread is specifically indicated as such, or you're adding images to assist the OP or show an example, it's not appropriate to add images.

As far as lighting and editing goes, I think this is one of the best shots I've seen of yours.

Thanks Dan! (I think)

It's a good thing. I wish I could get these results in my own photos. Even for a not so serious shot, there is some beautiful poetry in your lighting, and I detect a bit of a green cast that really compliments the warm skin tones.

Thanks Dan; coming from someone who works with light the way you do, I take that as a serious compliment. I'm interested in your comment on the green cast. Are you seeing it on the whole image, or in certain tones?

I'm seeing it in the darker areas of the image, so to me is sets a nice mood while complimenting the skin tones. It's very subtle, but effective.

And totally unintentional; I think I might have a mismatched flashtube in my fill light, but if it's working, why **** with it? Thanks Dan!

I have never seen a picture of a man eating cake done so well in my life. Love it!
