Love those black-eyed-Susans!

I couldn't resist -- they are everywhere around here and make such a nice, colorful back-drop.

Very cute, Kristen. Love the flowers.

We haven't been outside in more than 2 weeks due to temperatures over 100. Can't wait for cooler weather

Beautiful! Love the last one especially.

I really like this. I love blackeyed susans. I like the lighting as well. I think it'd also be cute if you put a flower behind her ear.

Excellent set...Love the third one...I think I prefer the B&W version of the first one.

Thanks so much! Definitely enjoying these last summer days -- and then the foliage! After that, not much photography around here for awhile.

OK, replaced the first one after improving the editing a bit -- definitely a challenge in that kind of lighting! Thanks for all the feedback.

The first shot, color version is really nice !

Thanks! I have to say that I find the back- and side-lit shots to be VERY challenging, esp. for skin color. I still am working on it, but OK with that one for now. Here is a before-and-after for those who like to see those -- I completely edited this in Lightroom.
