Week 52 : Showcase

"Best" is always subject - but this is probbaly my favourite from 2021. My lovely wife of 37 years (although we've been together for 48) on her 57th Birthday back in January.

I get a kick out of bucking the official right/wrongs of photography. This was one of my first outings with the Nikon 500mm PF. And of course "they" say you can't / shouldn't do portraits with 500mm. PAH!

Lovely composition and a nice expression too. Congratulations on finishing your 52 and have a great New Year.

 

[Fuji Dave]

That is a beautiful image Dave, and for me I think you can use any focal length for a portrait as proved here.

Portraits are what portraits are regardless of the lens they are taken on and this one is an excellent portrait. Well done on completing the 52 for 2021.
