Disappointment

Uploaded: April 19, 2007

Description

1/50 at f/2.8; Lens 24-70 f/2.8L; Focal Length 25; ISO 400; Hand Held; Natural Light

As dusk approached, my wife and I were taking one last walk through a local street fair when we came across this scene of some lost candy. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to capture it.

(And thanks to Nikki for her title suggestion)

Love the composition and perspective here, John. It's a natural selective color, right? Great clarity on the wrapper and candies. #640905

I can hear a sad kid crying over his lost candy somewhere in your neighbourhood...Great capture of an everyday sight - not everyone would have thought of photographing this scene! Excellent perspective, DOF, colors and POV. #4188782

this image really speaks to me John - so glad you shared it -


(somehow it shows a reflection of how the year 2007 was for me, although it did end wonderfully and have some peaks in it... 2008 is gonna be soooooo much better)

sorry for having to go into confession - but sometimes I have to share when an image talks loud to me! #5578487

Cool shot, John!!! Another scenario plays though my mind of someone sick of too much candy so they just tossed the rest in the street LOL. #5919415
