    Hi,

    Grabbed these in capetown in serious midday sun, but a shot of Fill Flash helped. Not easy to flash someone and not be noticed :-)

    WOW!! I seriously looooove these shots!!

    That first shot is brilliant in my opinion. Agree with Lorraine re: a tad more contrast…but is a mighty image.

    More please :D

    Fantastic stuff Merv. Well impressed with your conversions. Great composition
    in every shot too. Nice work indeed. Natural models, every one of your subjects…

    Merv,

    I know you didn’t ask for comparison, but that first one really is the pick of the bunch.. it’s the perfect expression. So will we be seeing this a the competition any time soon?

    I would love to enter it in a competition, I’m just not sure if “playing music” qualifies as “work” which I believe the next theme is. If I could use “playing music” as a work theme, I’ve a good few gig type shots. Probably pushing the bounderies there.

    Also, Is the next competition color or b&w?

    And c&c is most welcome! All feedback much appreciated, especially the “you could improve it by…..” type comments.

    That final one is a stunner Merv. You’ve got a fantastic eye.
    Really really well done.

    Thanks for the kind comments! Much appreciated.

    In a PM, it was suggested to try the guitar guy as a square, and I like it. Thanks Lorrainne!

    And out of interest, I thought I’d show a color and b&w of the same shot. It also shows off his expensive guitar!

    I want that guitar – nice pics – really nice.
    Love the first one. You can really feel the energy the guy
    is putting in.

    Still want the guitar though

    They sell them in a market in an area called “the waterfront” in Capetown. :-)
    And they do sound good!
