Classic Lonnit work. Very pleasing. Sam Attal

Thanks, guys. Oh, and as for the peanut? Piece of cake! LOL! ~ Lonnit

Yes I also like the assymmetry of this and their individuality. Very photogenic young men, Lonnit and I can imagine how near impossible it is to get them to pose the way you would prefer. (... sort of like pushing a peanut along Broadway with your nose on a Friday afternoon????)

Was that a good analogy?... (LOL)

Good post Lonnit ~ Regards Melbob

This I like. Very emotional. (They lost several dimensions in the "split up" variants IMO)

Wonderful highlights on those silhouettes and the bits of detail in the highlights add so much interest. Really dynamite light, Lonnit. I'm actually quite delighted at the lack of mirrored symmetry. The different attitudes of the heads create a lot of visual interest for me in the overall composition. Further, each boy is an individual here which I think would be sadly lost if they just mirrored each other. -Michael

Lonnit, It was I that mentioned Mr. Potter.

Lovely, Lonnit. Yes, indeed, they were instantly recognizable! And you deserve a salute for getting at least a couple of shots in. Well done. I prefer this version - rather than the split images. Which I guess only goes to prove that it is impossible to satisfy everbody at the same time. :-) Compliments on great photography. jnconradie

A nice image, but doesn't quite work for me without the mirrored symetry (sympathetic to the challenge of getting young boys to stay still though). I think they look better separated into individual images as you have them also in the gallery Lonnit. For me seeing any image or its spinoffs too many times lessens the impact of all of them somewhat though I'm afraid.

Victo, At least I managed to get them on the same plane! LOL! They were not cooperative models, and trust me, gave me plenty of "attitude"! LOL! It was very difficult to get them to fit within the window pane. They were fooling around and all I could get was a half dozen frames. This was the closest to what I wanted. Ideally, they would have had their faces 90 degrees to the floor plane, but this was the closest I could get. You try to put a goofy pair of brothers like this together and see if they'll do what you want! LOL! ~ Lonnit

Not familiar with the Potter boy - never read them, but YEESH! - I've heard the Harry Potter comment several times. I don't note any similarity of looks, and figured people said it b/c of the glasses. Interesting that you should say it with no facial detail revealed! I'm going to have to go take a better look at Master Potter. Who said that, BTW? ~ Lonnit

Lonnit, Your children are instantly recognizable. I knew this was a Lonnit right away. I think the picture would be better if you'd posed them with their heads at the same attitude. Their faces are parallel but tilted. Knowing you, this element was chosen on purpose somehow. -- Victor

Gosh O'Hemlocks. It looks like Harry Potter and his twin. Is this a twist we can expect in Deathly Hallows?

I recognize those famous twins! - Pops
