A great find and capture Daniel! At first I thought it was a crocodile!

Lovely comp and golden water Daniel! It does look like a crocodile at first.

Nope, no croc...I'd pass the shot up if it were and run. Thanks for you comments and for visiting.

Wow Connie, this is an amazing shot! Your exposure and treatment are stunning! Aren't you in Oklahoma? Hope all is well for you! I'm sitting in the middle of a big thunder storm here in Dallas!

Sunshiney day

I love this look City. A gorgeous side by side look at the flowers. While they may be simple in their look, you bring out their best with the color, the composing and I especially love the background and the finish. This has such a beautiful, painted look to it dear friend. So pretty. Have yourself a wonderful weekend girl.

Fantastic choice of subjects in this fun series, Jeff, and great work on the composites. Samantha has the most challenging backlighting that hides the details of her beautiful face. If I were her, I'd ask for a re-do and make sure no bars cover her face. Awesome work! Love getting the kids involved and I bet they had a ball!
5/20/2013 7:17:50 AM
|
|
|
|
Ok I am taking couple of my grandkids to the park.... these are awesome I love love the one of Pete. Looks like Becca did just find with her challenge. I agree Samantha needs a redo, her face is covered with the bar to many times. Job well done!
5/20/2013 1:46:05 PM
|
|
|
|
Thanks, everyone.I'll have to see if I can get back out with Sami for a re-shoot. The funny part about that one is that Pete was actually in all of those images, they wanted to be in the same shot. It was too crowded, so I went with just Sami. I do have another series of the two of them on a different spot that I need to combine. Becca's was funny. I had tried to get her involved with this a couple of times but she wanted nothing to do with it. With her disabilities, she doesn't do well with climbing and likes to have someone close by to help her balance. She wanted nothing to do with doing it on her own. Then she found these low monkey bars. She'd swing on the first one, let go, take a step forward to the second one, swing, let go, etc. She was excited to get her turn in the pictures. I haven't shown her the final image yet as she was in bed by the time I worked on it.
5/20/2013 2:53:37 PM

These are very nicely done Jeff - I bet the kids love them. I really like Becca on the bars, but all the shots are great.
5/20/2013 4:07:22 PM

Thanks, Mike!Here's one more of the two big kids. This was a bit trickier with a couple of overlapping spots.

most fond of the one with Becca because of the story behind it!
5/21/2013 7:03:50 AM

Love all of them. I think you should print these all out and hang them on a skinny wall, one on top of the other. So cute! I think my favorite is the first one-it reminds me of how high those jungle gyms used to feel as a kid. It is shocking how small they really are.I bet you had a field day with your kids!
5/21/2013 4:23:14 PM

These look so fun! My favourite is the one with the Pete on the tires, because his upside down head is so perfect :)

It is great when other folk's fun can be our fun too, Jeff. And just so that no-one is confused, that is not this Pete it's the other Pete. lol

I not only love the variety of your imagery, Lisa, but your ability to capture the moment. I like the story here and that you've shown a great deal of the location he is viewing. It would be nice to to have had a bit lower POV which would have moved him into the image more and perhaps a bit more of the view on his right. If you use Photoshop you can modify that a bit by using the recompose tool and move him forward in the image to give the illusion of a lower POV.
5/19/2013 7:28:36 PM

|
|
|
I love this image, Lisa. If it were mine, I would remove all of the people except the man sitting - just him and his shadow. I really like the comp, but Dale always has great ideas worth implementing. Nice work!

What a great shot!I am with Susan on taking out all the people except the one sitting on the bench
5/20/2013 1:47:58 PM
|
|
|
|
I have a shot of these columns - Jerash was one of my favorite stops on our trip.I understand the impact of removing the people other than the subject - I think it will be a stronger photo but with an entirely different feel. For me I would just lower the contrast slightly and open up the shadows a bit.
5/20/2013 4:04:22 PM
|
|
|
|
Lisa, a nice shot, well-framed, looks well exposed, an interesting place. It is a moment in time, and you did show a great deal of the location he is viewing.What did you want us to see in this picture? What was your vision? What was your story? I see a couple of potential compositions using pretty severe crops:
-- the upper left quadrant isolating the line of columns with the stonework in the center
-- a pano of the upper 2/3rds of the image
-- a vertical crop of the man on the bench that isolates him and maybe the center column and colonnade in the upper right. I think that approach is limited since he is not looking into the picture but looking down and diagonally out of the picture. In the picture as posted, you might:
-- darken the foreground stonework and
-- darken the center stonework in the amphitheatre...
... leaving the dirt walkway passing in front of the bench, and the lighter walking area along the front of the upper right colonnade slightly brighter than the rest of the picture. That would help provide some leading lines

Well, you've gotten some great suggestions. I'll just sit back and see what you come up with.

Hi, thanks everyone (Dale, you made my day!) i've gotten a little stuck on the editing, because i've been trying to do the first suggestion of using the recompose tool in photoshop-i found out that it's called the 'content-aware tool', and I can draw areas with it, but can't figure out how to apply it-there's no button coming up for that. Does anyone know?

Sorry, can't help Lisa. The tool in elements works differently I believe. However, I can guess. If your version has you select areas to save and areas that can go, then you will probably have a bounding box around the image when you are finished marking it. You then simply move the sides in, in the direction you want to make the change. In the case of this image, you would move the bottom up.

You sure get around Lisa! Thank you for showing us yet another place that we will probably never visit.

I like the lighting! I have trouble with late evening light. I end up with blurry images. Nice work Patrick!

Wonderful lighting bringing out the rich tones of these beauties, Patrick! I too love that bit of back-lighting! To me, the learning is the best part. :)
