awesome pics norris...of those you posted, i like #2 the best...you were able to capture her facial expression, and to me, it looks like she's trying to convey a sadness through her dancing...

and this cutie looks familiar to me...

Ryan - Cool shot with Miyagi! no exclusivity for me lol

Guess you guys followed me



Jimi - Sharpening was in camera settings; otherwise, very little processing (cropping, GND filter, and Fill in light)

Btw Photoshop LR makes the PP so much easier, more organized and non destructive, work on the RAW files "virtually" then just a matter of exporting to jpeg with the changes.

Edit: I shot a mix of Raw and Jpeg, so on some pix I used the GND filter and Fill in light in LR for PP.
Jpeg with embedded picture profile, and Raw with LR PP.
