Funny how when taking a picture, the very things that make a shot interesting were never seen when pushing the shutter.
I was amused at this shot in the post-processing, as I never noticed the difference in the leg colors, but now see it as the main interest.
It's all about the legs...

I know how you feel... I've done the same thing before.
For example:
I never realised what a dope I looked until I edited this shot:

Maybe the ones with the pink legs are the girls :) |

Your saying that one of them is wearing colored hose? |

Here's one:
I didn't see the reflection, with the "pressure" of the crowd passing through the memorial, until I got the photo onto my computer. The reflection makes ALL the difference.
And another:
Doe & Fawn
I didn't see the fawn until after I took this shot - I think it just popped its head up at that moment. I then took several more, but the first one was the best one.

Curiosity struck:
* Herring gulls have pink legs and feet, and the bottom mandible of their yellow beak has a reddish spot near the tip.
* An adult ring-billed gull has yellowish-green legs and feet and its yellow bill sports a dark ring, around both mandibles, near the tip.

I can't believe I missed then at the time I took the photo, I thought I was taking a photo looking out at the ship, and missed the painter painting that same ship.
Here is a full crop of the painter
I still can't believe I did not see him. Neither my wife or I every noticed him until we got home and were looking at the photos. I guess I need work on my photographer's eye
I am intrigued by who this person is. On one hand you donĂ¢€™t see many tourist lugging that much stuff around on the other hand very few locals wear shoes. |

Scott,
That IS surprising, for the simple reasont hat the figure's overlapping the ship, and you'da thunk you'd be focusing on the ship with your long lens and noticed it. If he were offset a few degrees its no surprise at all; looks like you made that shot from a heck of a long ways away with big glass, and he'd not have been noticeable to the casual naked eye.
Of course, we're supposed to have more than a 'casual" eye, naked or otherwise; I s'pose that's your point :-)
Robt.

I knew there were people, I thought it was more then one, in front of the ship but I missed that it was a person painting the ship. I had a lot of "clean" photos of the ship but wanted to get a feel for the park and the people in it. It was a long lens, 200mm 35mm equivalent so it would be hard to see the person by eye, but missing him in the viewfinder surprised me. But keep in mind that the F828 has an electronic view finder and as such is not very clear.

I found this particularly enjoyable. The painter is a great addition to the scene. I love finding hidden things in photos when I get home....i'll try to find something for this thread. |

LOL -It's amazing, Scott, because the painter becomes the subject of the shot - at least for me.

Maybe he wasn't there when you took the shot. Spooooooooky.

I didn't notice the face when shooting this door handle. If only I'd known at the time that 'hidden faces' was coming up, I wouldn't have entered it for 'broken'.
