A wonderful bond between the two generations.

No Skateboarding Allowed

Comment by locutus:
When I look at this shot, I can hear the skateboard as it clatters back to the ground. Very evocative.

Some of the background is a little distracting, though. Maybe it would have worked better if the stop-sign had been cropped out, for instance. I can see what you're trying to do with the stop-sign - with its touch-colour red and the title of the photo - but it isn't really adding to the scene for me. Maybe if the sign was in focus and more closely juxtaposed with the subject...

I'd have tried losing the stop-sign and some of the foreground pavement, but leaving the median-strip and parked cars as background, to impart the sense of "urban street scape".

But for all that, still very evocative.

Nice lines and blues - like the red lines on the one part of the tower too. Don't like the pesky car in the triangle, but what are you gonna do?

Enjoying my ultimate success.

I think that the idea here was good, but the execution was lacking. I think it does show success in a certain way. I also think that many really don't understand success in a healthy manner, which leads them not to understand how this fits the challenge.

The execution part: Portraits of any kind, even far away and under trees, are better with directional lighting than with full daylight. The light is so incredibly even on you, that it almost seems you could be pasted in. I'm thinking you may have meant for the shaft of light to highlight your son, but the light then became too harsh. Also, this shot setup I think works better with much negative space instead of busy space that you see here. Maybe you two sitting on a hillside with mostly blue sky above you. Maybe that or this in provia black and white.

I also get in those moods where I just want to take a picture for me and ignore all the artsy crud, but I and you should probably resist entering these photo's, and just enjoy them on our walls. (I also do stupid too-literal stuff like my bokeh entry)

Cool angle and nice composition. The reflection tells a lot about the surroundings = good.

Relaxing in the mist

Comment by Melethia:
Now this is sweet! I love the colors. Nice of your zoo to provide a background that lets the tiger take center stage. Nice focus. Kitty looks so relaxed you could almost walk up and pet him. Though I would not suggest that...

Great blue in the sky and reflections. The street reflections prevent the picture from being too abstract. Good job.
