I really admire the way you capture the Amish lifestyle while still respecting their privacy and way of life. Excellent comp here and just the right use of DoF. Excellent work. #655587

Kathy Radford May 15, 2007

Wonderful capture William. It is especially hard to capture the Amish because of their religion of not being photographed. Kathy in NH #4283993

Excellent comp, PoV, color and DoF, William! I concure with Marcies comment as well! #4283995

Great capture, Bill! Yesterday, we were at the store and I saw people dressed like this - except I doubt if they were Amish, as they all climbed into a big new SUV! Do you know of any sect that dresses like the Amish but they drive?? Just curious... ! #4284729
