Here's more Charlie. A little Trike A Thon, a little competition, but a lot of fun with his pals! #679532

Tammy K. Smitherman June 24, 2007

I love this photo. Especially, the look of the child on the left. It looks like he is saying, is he gonna beat me? #4431935

Dave, great work not only capturing the kids enjoying life in this instance, but highlighting it as well. I love the shadows off of each child as if going at warp speed. Nice work with both the camera and editting. Tim #4435916

Hey Dave, Did you use any filters on the background of this shot? How did you get the movement effect? #4724630

Dave Winchell August 30, 2007

Hey Dave, no, no filters here. The background was kind of cruddy with a dumpster etc. I duplicated the layer and motion blurred the background layer. With my duplicated layer I selected just the kids and placed them back on top of the motion blur, slightly in front to add to the race feel. It sounds complicated but it really went very quickly. #4725689

David Pratt August 30, 2007

Thanks Dave! I used this technique in my latest. Sarah finally figured out how to ride, and this was the look I was going for. I appreciate your help. #4726038

Dianna Hauf August 30, 2007

chuckle....this is fabulous Dave! Love the effects you added to enhance the sense of motion here! TOO CUTE! #4726334

Dave Winchell August 31, 2007

Thanks Dianna. It made a very fun image out of an otherwise ordinary one. Have a great weekend! #4727251
