Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

Beautiful shot and portrait she fits perfectly with this nature around, makes the shot most refreshing (without wordplay)

Yes ,this is a lovely portrait

Nice. The color/gray always makes a nice contrast. I suppose a person could also layer this over the original and then adjust the transparency to create a washed out color in the background -- depending on what sort of an effect you were trying for. This young lady must travel with a wake of broken hearts and turned heads :o)

I must admit at first I failed to notice the desaturated background... whatever that indicates... probably that you achieved the desired effect.

This is a lovely portrait and your very beautiful niece stands out really well against the monochrome background. Nice one, Jodie! BTW She looks a lot like her auntie!
