Nicely done Karen! I like very much the way the 3 dominant colors work together (green of the grass, blue of the sky and water and white of the dress). Well balanced. I love the way the girl's skin color plays against the pure white of the dress.
Love her pose; young girl evokes playfulness and inocence.
Karen, I wanted to let you know that I come back and look at this every once in a while. It's quite lovely, and one of my faves. Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Congrats, Karen. I just love this picture and thought it was taken somewhere in Central America! lol It's funny how subjective one is. I read Patella's comment and he would have liked to see everything in sharp focus. I, on the other hand, particularly likes the grass out of focus. It gives the image a painterly feel and it draws all the attention on the little girl in the white dress.
Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments and support! This was the first time I envisioned how I wanted a photograph to appear, and then set out to produce it. I got the feeling and results I wanted to acheive. Felt good! It has been an uplifting week!
Pretty, pretty picture. I love the bright white of her dress, and her skins tones look good, but the rest of the levels seem a little dark (especially the grass). I also think this one would be good for a really large depth of field (small aperture, big F#) so that everything was in a sharp focus. The downside of that is a longer shutter speed -- if it was windy, it wouldn't work because everything would be blurry for other reasons. Anyway, good capture.
Sweet picture and I really like the placement of it all. I love the white dress with the scene but the pose looks too "posed" for me. I like the pose but for a perfect 10 it needs to look more natural. I give it a 9
Normally I hate the "cute kid" style of pictures - but this looks like it's taken from a high quality calendar. I've looked hard for something to comment on but it's just too good.
My scores always change the longer I look at things. I gave this a first impression 6 however the more I look at the more it seemed to work for me. It is definately something I would like to see in its original form. Now it is an 8
Congratulations, This is my top pick for this challenge. 10 This is “picture perfect” I do like the title, but I can’t figure out how it ties in with the picture. (I never let the title influence the quality of the picture) The skin tones are excellent, The hat, the bare feet, the white dress is all superb against the other colors. This picture allows me to be many places, It gives a strong feeling of being in the Mediterranean.
Nice composition, nice lighting, nice pose, beautiful beach, beautiful child...the white dress is so striking with her skin tone. I'm not crazy about the title...i think it suggests too much grown-up-ness, but of course I don't have a better suggestion or anything :-) Good work.
I think it's really hard to take pictures with peple for this challenge. But this is really a very very nice shot. I love it. Was it composed or did you just catch her like that? Danie
This is a lovely picture ... Proper DOF ... You picked the right TOD to get very good lighting ... The composition and theme are delightful ... 10 ... RLS ... I looked again and liked it even more !!!
Lovely photo, what excellent composition and posing! I love the soft look, the grass near the front, the S shape of the path, the way she is holding her hat and dress... This is one of my absolute top picks this week!
The composition of this shot is really wonderful. I think if the grass were as bold and bright as her dress is, I'd give this one a 10. You might want to play with the levels/saturation on this shot.
Absolutely beautiful! However there are a few minor imperfections. First, the overall image appears slightly dark and flat - some time spent colour correcting with curves in photoshop would have brought out the colours and made it more brilliant/vibrant. Second, the image appears slightly out of focus - some minor sharpening would have likely improved it. Have a look at //homepage.mac.com/ashahrestani/PhotoAlbum17.html for before and after comparisons of your image.
Although the child is darling, I think I would have loved to have her out of this shot - the boardwalk and the grass alone looks almost to me like a painting. A path leading to.......whatever MY mind takes me to, with your child in the photo it limits MY imagination. (does that make sence?) This is a great shot though, good job. ~ 8 cthenk
absolutely, totally beautiful. i like everyhing about it, the composition, the colors, the little girl is precious and the path leading through the photo adds depth. -- gr8photos (10)
