Great Entry Tony! Are you OK? Is your "post" button sticking,, Or, do you just want to be sure that Ms Begonia knows that you appreciate her kind, but honest words? : ) Congratulations my Friend, it is a very sensitive capture, and beautifully processed!

Interesting I waited for a couple of minutes with no response then tried a few more attempts . I waited a couple more minutes with no response, got a cup of tea and finally DPR responded with multiple posts

Thank-you for your comment. Nadya is also a fine actress in a popular local theater company. Interesting... I normally try to keep the camera perfectly vertical. The tilt is the accident of how she was positioned.

Tilted takes or frame are a real challenge because is a rule braker, but can lead to very interesting photos specially architecture and portraits. Now that I am thinking....it makes an interesting subject for a challenge, does it not?

More consumption of grouse scotch could have made the session go sideways...
Congrats Tony!
