just in case the term 'to hog' is only an aussie one .. it means emily's sort'v taken over and not letting anyone else have a turn .. she's blowing bubbles and bethany is wanting her turn!!.. you can see a very small bubble on the rhs of image ..
once again i've blown it with camera settings .. should'v reset iso ... things happen real fast at the parents group .. you either get it or you dont .. i try and have settings ready for the light etc but light changes .. and i've usually got about 2 seconds to get that shot ... if i check my settings then the moment is probably gone .. i'm not even supposed to be photographing so i really have to pick my moments & i certainly cant muck around .. like a minute here and a minute there .. and i only get the camera out very occasionally ..
"who me??? .. no i wasnt taking photographs!!!"
I really like this. In my opinion, the brightness most certainly adds, not distracts from this picture. The composition, especially with the one child looking down, is excellent. Really a wonderful moment - one of those things that photography is all about. (It's not the settings - it's the moment!)
roz - i love the tones on this - capturing the one bubble and the three so focused - i especially like how the second child is blowing along with the 'hog' - what really cracks me up is the third little guy who can't take it anymore and has dropped his head
I love this slice of life. The last image of emily had her looking straight at the lens and worked, this one has her completely oblivious to you and works as well. Great expressions on all the kid's faces, especially the boy who is looking at the bubble and who therefore leads you to it (when I first saw the picture it did take a second for me to realise what he was looking at). Only question I would have would be whether the vignette works. You say this was a rushed shot but I have to say it is lovely
Oh Roz! This is PERFECT!!! You captured a moment in time -- and this is the kind of photo that far FAR outweighs any need to be technically perfect! It is so full of childhood. So full of innocence. Such a moment! This is truly one of my favorites! I love how the others' little lips are "blowing" even tho they aren't anywhere near the bubbles :)
This is PRICELESS! It doesn't need a THING changed!
have you been getting tips on your tones from Bucket or something? this is good.
a little blurred around the edges for my taste but its the effect you were obviously trying to achieve.
very nice

Just gorgeous, Roz! I love this, especially the kid with his head hanging down. I think he's starting to get impatient "Aaawww, when is it gonna be my turn!!" hehe, great stuff!!! Nice work with the PP too!!
Sweet, sweet as can be, as this is a really fine "candid" image, that you have captured here Roz.....
I just love the look on all their faces, very sweet, and so appealing.
