    Thanks so much Heather!

    Yeah, to be totally honest in the long run I enjoy post work more then I actually do shooting, not by much though

    Oh wow, thats awesome! So glad you liked it. Up until now photo has just sort of been a hobby for me. I've recently decided to try my hand at a full time photo career and to hopefully achieve some 'photo fame'. I've been shooting for years, so it's sort of a natural gravitation I guess.

    Again, thanks so much for the kind words Heather.

    Hubby says you need to stop posting pictures of yourself Brad, he thinks you are just too easy on my eyes and is getting worried

    Seriously though, would love some insight into your PP. I should say I have been inspired about some of the PP I have seen on here lately I have tried a few new things... maybe I'll post!

    Ordinarily I would say that its a bit centered but because one of your shoulders is dipped, it looks awesome as usual

    When responding to signatures, I'll give my uneducated, self taught opinion and respect that your hard work and fun went into producing the images you share. Please feel free to take everything I say with a grain of salt

    looks amazing!!! your retouching skills are a sensation. my only critique is i personally think the lighting on your forhead and cheeks is a bit harsh.. too much contrast shaping your face. i like it.. i just think toning it down a hair. just a hair... would make it better. but thats my own opinion. take it or just laugh and ignore me either way. your work is fantastic
