I can't take credit for the pictures in my signature. I asked the photographer if I could use some of his amazing photos and he said I could.

Idle--You sure know how to pick 'em! Except for Maria's photo, which is clearly a studio portrait, I like the others for their casual look, even if they were taken in a studio.
That's one of the most beautiful photos of Fumie I've seen. She looks so naturall and happy. Same with Irina, Sasha, and Cupcake, it's just that I've seen a number of similar photos of IS, SC, and ES, but this is the first picture I've seen of Fumie in that relaxed "camera capturing the inner Fumie" photo. I'm not saying there aren't others out there, I just haven't seen them.
Even though I prefer more candid photos, the portrait of Maria is stunning and captures all that Maria mystery.
Mathman--I especially love the first photo of Jennifer Don. It really captures the feeling of movement and her joy in it, not to mention her beauty. Both photos are great, I just especially love the first one. Good job!
