A homeless(I think) man from Riga. I asked if I could take his picture, he looked and stared and didn't say anything. I lifted the camera in a taking a picture gesture, he looked and stared and didn't say anything. I took the picture, he looked and stared and didn't say anything. Was kinda intimidating but worth it! :)

Great pictures everyone! Great contrast in the salt and pepper in the hair.

Here are my 2 favorites, both taken of my daughter in 2011 with a t2i. My wife and I debate which one is our favorite so neutral opinions would be appreciated! As a proud father (and amateur photographer) I like the bow one because of the "serious" look and bokeh. I have a 20"x30" canvas print of this and the resolution turned out great. Can't believe a $90 lens gave that bokeh.

Particulars of the bow picture:
Canon 50mm - f1.8 lens. 1/125th @ F2.5. ISO200. No flash.
pillow and blanket under her

Particulars of the Baptism photo:
Canon 18-55 - f3.5-f5.6 lens. 1/80th @ f5. I believe ISO400. Not sure if popup flash was used.
Mom off to the side making faces and standing by to grab her if she tipped over!
