Good evening !

Long break indeed . I think I have been a good boy myself (^_^) , but a bad TL member recently. I still have too much things to do to be active regularly on TL. Therefore , I prefer not to post for while since I have no time to post critiques, comments and submit workshops.

At this time of the year I normally post shots in refrence with the coming Holiday Season. Well let me offer you , one of our Santa shooted at home this evening.

Santa here will invite you to visit cool links to see by yourself what Santa told me. I am enclosing both versions here:
First In English and second
in French .

The site is pretty cool. In fact I invite you to use it and send an email to your children, grand-children. You have a few question to answer, to give some hints to Santa. Add a photo like me the impact will be greater. Of course this is free. Just follow the indications.

Merry Christmas to all!

Perry Ho Ho Hoooter! (^_^)


Technically . I wanted a bit more drama in Santa's face . Therefore no flash used. Halogen light on the ceiling. Door behind used as a window. Higher POV to reveal a bit more the eyes instead of a direct eye level. Cropped both ends slightly for a tighter composition.

Hi Robert:)
Nice presentation for the Santa time:))) - but it look like a bit out of focus... anyhow I like it because of this beautiful time of the year.

Bonsoir Robert,
Have you been a good girl?
Ma réponse est : "Oui, Père Noël"!
Un plaisir de te voir à nouveau! Merci pour le lien.
Un peu d'accord avec Tom à propos du hors focus, sans doute que le Père Noël riait trop dans sa barbe brillante.
Je te souhaite bien du plaisir pour cette période qui s'en vient!

Hello Robert!
Beautiful Santa Claus portrait!
Great colours and nice crop!
Yes, I think is better with no flash.
Best regards!
Lili

Ho Ho ho to you two too! (^_^)

I've been a good boy also, I think...

Nice note and effect on this photo.

Thanks for the card, en passant!

Hi Robert, Can I critique the photo without answering the question in the title? LOL. I'm always good! :) Nice photo of Santa with the bright red. I also like the dark background as it really accentuates the colors and the main subject.

Joyeux Noel! Lisa

hhahahah!!
That is cool!!:D:D:

thanks..i liked the most Santa with the elfs on the lake!
hahha!!!

I like this Santa portrait shot and it really is a good theme for Xmas festive season.

Greetings from Malaysia.

Hi Robert!

Nice question! :-) Thank you for the Greetings!

Goog luck to you from Netherlands!

Merry Christmas, Robert. A nice image, though his expression seems a bit "plastic!" Good location in the frame. Stunning lighting, too. good job working with the DoF, but I think his location was your limiting factor.

P.S. Thanks much for the Christmas card and CD. We've enjoyed listening to the CD, and they have helped to make it feel a bit more "Christmassy" in the warm summer weather down here.

Ciao my friend Robert


Ah ... I see you are very busy,
has no problem, your post is so beautiful that
still very charming.
My friend I sent you an email Thanks
by this that I received from the postman.

A big hug for you and Martine
Once again, Thank you ... Thank you!


Sergio

Hi dear friend
:))) I guess I was a good girl since I've received the most beautiful gift - my little angel Jana :)
Lovely shot and mood in it.
Have you been a good boy? :)))
Best wishes,
Ioana
