Looks great! The one thing I would comment on (and I'm sure you know) there is a lot of spill happening from your umbrella onto the back wall which is washing your purple gel out a bit. You might be able to mitigate the spill a bit by bringing the lovely Gal VanIZed away from the wall so there is a bit more fall off from the umbrella. I have also found it is really hard to add color via a gelled light on a white surface, it really helps if you are shooting against gray or black if you want to add color, otherwise you just keep adding light but don't get much color off of it.

Thanks for the tips. This is the first time I tried it so I still have a lot to learn. I was wondering why the background color wasn't saturated!!
 
Some images from the Dia de los Muertos Family Festival that happened in Canoga Park today.

Would you haul a load of rocks in this truck bed?

Where the hell is everybody?
 
I don't know where I have been, but I LOVE the truck bed (that would probably look fantastic printed on metallic). Pachuco is also a nice capture. Nice work!
 
Also, while I was at art walk down at the brewery a few weeks back, I came across a photog who had some really interesting prints. Beyond just being fantastic photos, they all were printed with a process called front or face mounting, the company he was using was PC Colour Lab. What it is is they print the photo on something like a Duratrans or a Fujitrans and using clear adhesive mount it to the face of acrylic or plexi, the result is a high gloss, very smooth, very bright, very cool.

The lab offers a free 8x10 sample, you pay shipping. It is pretty cool.
 
Took this while walking around aboard the Star of India here in San Diego this afternoon.

Not with the big Nikon, but with my little G9. Still, I rather like it.

Nicely done, B!

I shot my daughter's first dance recital back in June, and I have to say that it was THE MOST difficult shooting situation I've experienced. And that's even with the D3 and an f/2.8 lens! I'd love to get some more practice in those settings, but I'm not sure where I'd get it.
