This is the kind of photo that I have literally hundreds of in my house. It captures a moment that you will look back on in fondness later in life. The problem here is that even though it is moving to you (and me in my case) , here in a photo contest, it looks a bit like a snapshot. As an example, one of the boys has a post coming out of his head, and the focus isn't tack sharp.
Since it is advanced editing, I might have cloned out the garden and worked hard on the saturation in the grass.
It is a very nice composition though. Pictures of kids just being kids are good ones. In this one, I'm left curious about what they are happily chatting about. |
