Leibovitz' Photos of Queen Elizabeth on her 90th Birthday

Those colours are sublime.

That's what stood out to me when I first saw the picture. The colors just say old oil painting of someone important.

I have to jump in and say it's not just the crew and all, it's how she can direct her subjects, perhaps control, maybe lead. I look at her as a combination of maestro and soloist.

She delivers memories very well.

The gearheaded part of me wants to know what gear she used. Not because I think I could take the same pictures with it, just interested.

Not too long ago she did a front page shoot with the Game of Thrones actors and she was using a Hasselblad H series with a 50-110mm lens and a phase back.
I would be more interested in her PP guy, watching him work that Photoshop.
 
I'm thinking that the Queen prompted Annie L. for a classic, rather than an edgy-kinky, look and feel to the photo.
 
It would sure take a long time to sign the papers for a home/condo, automobile with a long name like that! Ha!

Bill are you sure we are ready to contemplate the prospect of Josephine Eleonore-Marie Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Bearn, Princesse de Broglie descending the steps of a Winnebago?
 
I think they're great ... and Annie has done exactly what was required in the situation considering the subject material. I was surprised to see the young boy with his hands in his pockets though ... especially considering the Queen's known penchant for protocol. :D
