Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Ioannina lake
Date: Aug 21, 2003
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Landscape, Children
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2009

I don't know if this is my best photo but it's for sure one of my favorites. Taken back in 2003 with my first digital camera, a Sony F717.

During a walk around the lake i found my son sitting with his friend by the side of the lake on a brake from fishing. I got only this frame before they noticed i was behind them.

Pretty much as it came out of the camera. That green color is actually the color of the lake's polluted water.

I don't think is the kind of photo voters prefer, but i wanted to share it anyway.

Great greens in this, they're looking into the future it seems, the unknown.

The natural frame is good. I like the silhouettes and the green fading to white is the best part.

picture is a bit too dark

Framing is good and strong silhouette forms are good ... but the overall effect isn't wowing me.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. I love how you composed this to have the branches with leaves act as a natural and very eye pleasing frame for your photo!!! Love the silhouettes of the two figures sitting on separate rocks near each other. These two friends seem to be having a casual conversation as they sit, relax, and watch the waves. Because of the composition choice I feel as if we are peering at the scene hidden behind a tree branch. I do wonder why the choice to have the water green...that is if it is the ocean that they are overlooking if not then I am quite mistaken. I am wondering if the choice to emphasis the light green is to play upon the a color tone symbology...cool greens to convey the feelings of relaxation, renewal and spring? If so then it feels like early spring and these two men are taking in a moment to observe nature and relax.

more like a painting than a photo. May not appeal to the masses. A little unnatural, but ok with me, 6

A bit of a sense of mystery to this one, Love the green tones and the imagined cool of the forest we're standing in, watching them.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:01:20 AM
very well composed and exposed. two nitpicks I have though: the OOF branch at left distracts a bit (the one at top I don't care for); the acidic green - an orange or blue tint might have worked better

I do not like the
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:15:43 AM
This is a nice moment caught. The one thing that is jumping out at me is the very distinct dark outline around the subjects. Some sort of sharpening halo? The composition is very interesting.

I love this silhouette of two youngsters at the river, lake or ocean. It would be perfect if they were holding fishing poles. Excellent natural framing.
