because so many of the tones are similar, I am curious to see what this might look like in black and white. I think it could have a lot of impact. Great composition anyway.

that rim of light makes this shot! Way to punch up an otherwise bland photo!

I'm not fond of the inclusion of the bright sun, though I recognize it plays a role in the atmosphere of your shot.

Freedom of Thought - giving it a chance

i like this idea, but something about how the bw contrast/brightness or whatever has me thinking..its like it needs more light, or more contrast or something in its levels or toning.

looks like the 9 o'clock gun. :) I like this perspective, it reminds of me what the view must be like when embroiled in a battle.

because of the sky, I'd have tried this in bw too, just to see if that would have more impact. also the front lamp is a bit distracting!

beautiful use of DOF, I like the white moth (I think its a moth!) against the blurred yellow flowers. elegant composition.

So Here's Your Problem....

Shannon,

Definitely a fun shot, but it needs a boost on the brightness/contrast and a bit of a sharpen. Also might be fun to see how it looks in BW (try this with and without boosting the contrast) and I agree with the comment someone made in your thread that it needs a bit of a crop to put the focus/attention of the shot on the interplay between the child and the adult. :)

Hope that helps!
