Taken at a friend's party while the pool was lit up. Amazing that the adults are all still in focus, while the kids are blurred. Just goes to show, kids never slow down, while adults just take it easy.

Sorry, I wouldn't consider this a portrait. It looks like the kids are having fun though.

Sorry, I don't get that this is a portrait.
10/08/2007 09:45:18 PM

10/08/2007 05:59:07 PM

Interesting portrait subject. Truth is in the title.

For me, this is a quick snapshot. The blurred kids distract rather than enhance your image. I do like the lighting in your image though.

good coloring

I don't like this picture. It combines very dark spots with overly bright ones and motion blur is so strong that it's hard to recognize anything the kids do. In this case you might have used a rear curtain flash to freeze a part of the scene. What also bothers me is that I do not see a (recognizable) group or anyone being portrayed. I can not realy see how this fits in the challenge. (4)

sorry i don't feel this meets the challenge, as to me a group portrait is a close-up of a group of people

I do not consider this a group portrait, sorry...

While there are 3+ people in the photo this does not seem like a portrait shot. I love the colors of the pool and the sky, reminds me of some of Chip Simons work.

I normally ignore titles...thinking that the image really should tell me all I need to know. However, it was the title that made me look, again, at your shot and see the time-exposed images of the children. Very subtle and very well done.

I wish the people were more visible than the landscape

Although there are at least three human beings in the shot and it, therefore, technically meets the Challenge specs, there doesn't appear to be any setup involved like in many of the entries that clearly do have setups and so are, in my mind, portraits. To me this seems more of a snapshot than a portrait. Very nice colors, though.
