Nothing is decided yet except that I will order #1 and have them brighten it up. Now if I had to choose between # 4 or 5 which would you guys pick? They should be able to center #6 and I can be touched up with a little more hair and less man boobs. So looking at the boat and not me, 4 or 5? If business wasn't down I'd just buy all of the digital files for $1,000.

After looking at them again I would go with Number 4. You aren't looking up at the chopper in that one, more natural.

4 has more air under the hull...better "whoopie" shot.

#5, I agree the boat looks like the yellow it is, the other pictures make it look faded, or golden. The water is nice and blue in that picture too.

OK, looking again I agree that 5 is much better than 4. It just needs to be centered and they can photoshop me a little more hair and get rid of the man boob shadows!

Now I am leaning toward 1 and 5 if I'm limited to two pics.

I do like 6 & 7 but I really want the Donzi logo visible.

So, #1, brightened up & #5 with a bit more hair and less man boob shadow?

Dam, I still like 4 though. Tough decision. I like the shot angle and running attitude in 4 but the color and lighting is better in 5. :/

If people are actually paying those prices I am way under priced ....

At least now people can see what a bargain they are getting when they do a Poker Run or a Fun Run when I am shooting from a helicopter ...

Best of luck with your order.

Just a suggestion so that you don't need fake hair added. Have them put a life vest on you. It's much easier than you think and would probably look a whole lot better...

In order for an image of mine that was going to be used in a magazine the image they selected the people didn't have vests on. The next day they did. Image sold and on it's way to publishing...

One of many reasons I can't wait for the Hudson fun run.... I am a fan of your work and can't wait to have some photo' s taken by you of "Here's Johhny"

Sharkey, I was alone and you can see that the water wasn't bad so I decided to go without the vest that day. What you can't see is the tether clipped to my shorts! I'd rather have a hot babe with a yellow bikini photoshopped in there!

Yes, they are expensive but worth it I think. I'd like to get two nice prints. Still torn between 4 and 5. #1 is for sure.

This wasn't a private run where they are guaranteed a certain number of sales. These guys just go around and randomly photograph boats in the hope that enough people will buy the pics. I'll pay $500 for two nice photoshopped 16x20 prints.
