Description

f11.0, ISO 400, 1/60. Added Orton Effect.

~Through life's road we'll walk together,
Heart to heart each storm we'll weather.
Hand in Hand we'll grow together,
I love you, My Sister, My Brother!~

PS. I should say that this is the first time I have tried the Orton Effect, so I'm not sure if it looks right. Let me know if I did it right. :) Thanks!

This is a wonderful shot Michelle. The way your eye is led along the bridge by the children and light up ahead are fantastic. Well taken. A winner in my book. #668548

Nikki McDonald level-classic June 05, 2007

Great perspective and the poem is a wonderful touch. I think the Orton works well here. It looks as if you might have erased it from the children--good idea if you did and if you didn't, I'm glad they turned out clearer and brighter than the bridge and trees. Love the light at the end of the bridge. #4367550

Michelle R. Kovach June 05, 2007

Thank you very much Emily, Joy & Nikki!
I appreciate your comments!

Nikki, No, actually I didn't erase it from them. I left it on the whole effect, but I'm glad it came out the way it did. If it was too dark on them I would have. #4367605
