Just to be safe, you should put the circle-C (©) symbol on there as well -- some countries don't recognize just the english word "copyright."

Use Alt-0169 on Windows or Option-g on a Mac

I love the way you "pixelized" the hand without obscuring its meaning at all.

Dang! Nice shot -- I just took Isaac to fly his first kite today and took about 10 shots like this. Now I have validation that they are not snapshots!

Congratulations!

Thank you ... sometimes he does seem like a little monkey boy ... I have to admit this motif isn't entirely original, even for me:



We don't have that many Concord grapes out here (even in Concord!), but that same dusty bluish-purple is also found on the elderberries which grow wild all over.

Originally posted by Bran-O-Rama: Didn't mean any offense about the slanted bench but I thought the subjects in the foreground were the focus of the image. Isn't it much more natural to see a "slanted" or angled roof than an unleveled bench? :/

Sorry, I was tired when I wrote that. I'll have to try it and see how it looks. To me, it was obvious that the far rooflines are part of entranceways, and as such would look odd if slanted. But others might not notice.

The other factor is that, although the bench slants, Isaac is somewhat compensating and sitting up pretty straight. There's also a vertical seam in the window right behind his shoulder.

I appreciate the suggestions! My mom was visiting, and I know she'll like it regardless of the roofline :)

Now if I could only have made it purple ...

Looks like a little more sharpening than I'd apply. I like the composition and colors.

Clever, original interpretation. I wish the specular reflection on the right wasn't quite so bright or large, as it pulls the eye away from the "subject" in the center a bit.

Nice job shooting the clear glass against the white background.

Only problem is ... you've now given some 17 year-old programmer a reason to think "Hey, why not?"

Better take out a trademark on that name quick :)

WWYT? wouldn't apply here because you're still composing the photo before pressing the shutter. Maybe "Wait! What Are You Thinking?" would work, although it may also be a somewhat DPC-community idiom more than photographic jargon.

Hmmm ... "hard to tell" was more or less the theme of this photo.

On a side note, I just looked at the photo on my profile page ... hmmmm ...

Yes, given his expression and his Tshirt, perhaps "Barker" would have been a good choice. :)
